When I open my computer, the 'active window bar' at the top of a window does not install.

I have that window open right now; the only problem is that I don't see an
entry for window manager. I am using Kubuntu Hardy KDE3.5.10. Under Session
Manager here is what I see:
General
I have checked: Confirm logout
I have checked: Offer shutdown options
On Login
I have selected: Restore previous session
Not selected: Restore manually saved session
Not selected: Start with an empty session
Default Shutdown Option
I have selected: End current session
Not selected: Turn off computer
Not selected: Restart computer
Advanced
Applications to be exclude from sessions:
Nothing is entered.
Buttons at bottom are Help and Defaults. That is all on the Session Manager
page.

That sounds like a reasonable conclusion. I was unable to find kwin in the
package manager; is that what I need? Is there code that could instruct the
repair of startkde?

I am going to try this part of help then return if it fails. Thanks a lot for
the help.
