Fiddling around GNOME session settings (System -> Preferences -> Personal -> Session) could completely screw up your desktop. This is exactly the thing I’ve experienced today after changing some settings there. Result was lock-up while loading desktop, and compiz loaded without window decorations. I did some googling, however, and found the solution.

Basically, all I’ve had to do was removing ~/.gnome2/session file totally out of there. Restart X, and voila – good old desktop back in the business! I’ve also found solution at Ubuntu Forums, but it didn’t work quite well for me. Just removing file helped. Good luck out there!
