What's up with Gnome

Ok. first off I have no idea what's gone wrong with Gnome and I have a long list of things that have gone wrong. I started a session up and noticed that when I start a program up, (really any program) I no longer have the bar where I can minimize, maximize and close out the program. Also the program manager in the upper right hand corner no longer keeps up with what programs are running. The other semi-major problem is I only have one virtural desktop and no matter what I do to change the number of virtual desktops I always come back to one. My first solution was to upgrade to the latest version however didn't work. Also tried removing all of the .gnome* folders (kept backups just in case) to see if it was a screwed up setting. Again nothing. So right now I'm fresh out of ideas as to what to do.

If you can open a terminal window, try running metacity again, if it does not load, there should be an output

.Let us know.
