Sundaero, thanks for the tips! I resized the titleXX.xpm files so that they
had 2 pixels width, and now it's working correctly again!
For the record, I also had to resize other xpm files that had 1 pixel of
width, namely dframeAB, dframeAT, dframeIB, dframeIT, frameAB, frameAT,
frameIB, frameIT.

I use Centos 6.4 with icewm-gnome-1.3.7-3.el6.i686 and
icewm-1.3.7-3.el6.i686 distributed by repository EPEL and
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.13.0-11.el6.centos.i686. I have same problem with
graphics card Nvidia quadro NVS300.
Same symptom : top of window is empty and windows don't move with mouse but
max/min and shortcut run correctly.

I'll add more info about this bug.

For me this bug appeared starting from the Xorg version approximately
1.10.4 or 1.11.1
Computer configuration: Archlinux + nvidia graphic card + proprietary
drivers.

The actual bug source is that the theme titlebar pixmaps (the ones with
names titleXX.xpm in the theme folder) which are 1-pixel thick are not
handled correctly. This yields in the completely missing part of the
titlebar, the corresponding 1-pixel-thick titleXX.xpm stands for.

Quick solution for this problem: scale all titlebar pixmaps to be at least
2 pixels wide, or just delete them from the theme. In the last case there
will be some defaults titlebar colours, which can be adjusted in the
default.theme file to fit the theme.

It seems that this bug occurs only on computers with nvidia cards. At least
I goot it only there. I have a bunch of computers with Archlinux+Icewm
installed on them, but everything is OK there since they have Intel/AMD
graphic cards.
I have also another computer with Gentoo + nvidia card, but IceWM works
fine there, because there is an older version of the Xorg is used.
