$

When I start it, it works, but it has no frame around window.
$ monodevelop
Creating DefaultWorkbench
Tools: can't load user defaults, reading system defaults
$

Splash screen is displayed, and then MonoDevelop window appears, but 
without frame:

Terminal's window has frame with buttons like minimize, maximize, etc, 
but MD hasn't. When I make terminal's window active (title bar isn't 
grey and it's marked on lower pane), it stays hidden behind 
MD window - just like MonoDevelop has been "Always on top" property:
http://kwi.pb.bialystok.pl/Grupa.NET/MD2.png
There is also no MonoDevelop window on lower pane.

Also when MonoDevelop creates new active window with focus (for example 
Help->About, or Tools->Options), it stays behind MD's main window.
View->Fullscreen also doesn't work - window stays where it was created.

My system is i386 2.4.26-ow1 testing/unstable, 
with GNOME 2.4.1 environment.

What's going on?
