Try a new session (ie: change the session to gGNOME at login screen ,next time u log into ubuntu)
then Make sure that the advanced desk top features are activated by looking (by right clicking on desktop a menu appears ,click change wall paper line which give a new window,it has 4-5 tabs the last one says whether the desktop features are active or not if not do it)
then look for compiz settings manager in UBUNTU menu(rt upper side 3rd one) Go through it.
