xfce window manager gone

brainlesspinkey · 06-27-2005, 12:40 AM

Hello, I have what seems to be like a simple problem:
I just emerged xfce4 on my gentoo box. The little problem is that when I log in as a regular user, I do not get a window manager. (eg. my cursor is an "X", and windows have no borders and no close or maximise buttons) However, when I login as root, everything works perfectly. Has this happened to anyone before?

Thanks,
-Pinkey

have you configured the user to boot into xfce? It sounds like you are only starting X.

I have this same problem, but for me this applies to root as well. Windows Manager does not start. Any thoughts on this problem?
