I found with Cyril Brulebois where the problem was. In fact my file .config is my kernel config. This name is the default name of a kernel config. Since it's a hidden file, it can easily be forgotten in the home directory. I moved this file and my problem was then closed, a directory .config/ made with the xfce file's configuration. This problem can be frequent, and I agree with Cyril Brulebois's proposition. -- Cyril Mougel
