What seemed to help
-------------------
sudo apt-get install metacity - this gave be back window focus and bring
to top as well as window decoration (although ugly/basic) and context
menus, keyboard short cuts, and working firefox/thunderbird text menus.

Can anyone explain what might have happened ?
