What software hacks do you have installed, if any? Try disabling them if you do.

Are you using Windowshade X (or something else that would interfere with the way windows are displayed)?

Btw, you would have to log out or restart to disable APE - did you do that?

How did you uninstall it - did you use the uninstaller to get rid of everything (if you didn't, run the installer again and then uninstall both APE and WSX to make sure you get rid of the lot)?

I'm 99% certain that APE and WSX are going to be the source of your problem as they are the most likely culprits given that they interfere with the way the OS displays windows.

Sorry - your last post gave the impression that you had WSX. Has removing APE/Clear Dock worked to solve the problem?
