I have just installed Gutsy on my DV9700T, and I admit, it's far better than Vista or XP. I have been using Ubuntu on my old laptop for a year and a half now and glad that I stumbled upon this tutorial. Made installing the UbuntuStudio look even easier than before. Great Job!

I really like it a great deal. However, my main gripe right now is that I've lost my title bar on all of my windows. That also means that I don't have my close, minimize/maximize buttons. This is rather annoying when I want to close something. I don't always want to go down to the dock. Do you know what I need to do to rectify this situation?

Please send the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list. Also, did you try upgrading from Fesity to Gutsy before release date? (I'm asking because my repos got broken on a machine because of this).
