Xfce setting no longer work
 

I was just sitting in my Xfce configuring slackware when it started not working as it did . windows setting 4 and it only show 1 my top bar on all my window apps is no longer there so I cannot move them instead I have to close them to get them out of the way, the window manager no longer opens -- I created another user it works ok so far but how do I fix this one so I can use it as I just got it set almost perfect with the apps I installed to use in it . I don't even have right click in here to spell check lol what happen? :cry:

You could logout and open a console using Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login as yourself.
Ctrl+Alt+F7 and log back in.


This does not affect your "apps" other than where their placement on the desktop and/or panels.

if that doesn't work, just mv the entire ~/.config to ~/.config.bak and log back in.

Worse case scenario, mv those/it back.

I had the same problem and posted here September 19th.

The problem seemed to happen after the security updates I applied that night.

So far, I haven't found more than a temporary answer. :(

alas, I forgot about [slackware-security] glibc (SSA:2013-260-01) breaking some of my stuff also.
I had to roll-back the changes using the install media.

That sometimes happens around here (not so much anymore, but sometimes). First thing I do to "fix" it is
Cures a lot of ills (like when you log out and it takes five minutes for things to die?).

Hope this helps some.

A variation of your recommendation worked!

I didn't clear the whole .cache directory, but I deleted the XFCE4 directory and files. Now everything is working again.

Thanks!
