Kali desktop window controls have disappeared

Hi everyone i hope ive posted this in the right place. I have an older 32 bit laptop that I keep a backup copy of all my metamask accounts on in case of emergency and well that time has come. my phone suffered catastrophic failure and I need to recover my accounts but upon firing up my kali desktop im finding all kinds of wacky corruption like inability to move windows about or close them due to complete lack of window borders, title bars, and other controls. I can only barely get into metamask while i hold the left mouse cursor, but due to lack of keyboard shortcuts, cant get into settings or change accounts to recover my seed phrase. Yikes! Anyone had this issue before?
