Hi. I've had a multi-user machine running XFCE through about three
openSUSE versions, and I've just logged into the user account that I use
most often (on openSUSE 12.1) and everything's been inexplicably messed
up. No updates applied or config changes made that I know of since
yesterday when it was working fine, although it did take a long time to
log out and shut down the last time. I'm currently the administrator and
only user.
Firstly, the pager with the workspace switcher is only showing one
instead of the usual two virtual desktops. When I try to reconfigure it
to two, it refuses to add any more.
Then I noticed the title bar and hence window buttons / decorations are
all missing on any opened windows. Strangely, in Firefox, configured to
show the menu button top-left and no menu bar, I can't even close the
program, because having clicked on the Menu button, the moment I try to
mouse over an item in the drop-down menu in order to 'Quit', the menu
disappears. Since I therefore can't get the menu bar to reappear either
and there are no keyboard shortcuts, I'm forced to open Task Manager to
kill it.
In the Settings Manager, clicking on certain categories like Window
Manager or Window Tweaks presents a blank dialog with no options. At one
point, a new entry appeared in the Settings, I think its icon showed XV
or XD or two other letters. It contained no options but now I can't get
it to appear again.
I checked the other user accounts and they're okay. I suspect there's a
corrupted config file but looking in the files in the home directory I
can't see anything obvious. Any idea what's happened here?
