Andrew & others, At Sun, 10 Feb 2008 14:28:47 -0800, a> my memory is that sometimes, on upgrades, xfce *unchecks* the "Allow xfce to manage desktop" option in one of the preference screens.
I might have caused the problem by running dselect from a terminal in the xfce GUI. Will have to remember to stick to single-user mode for non-trivial maintenance in the future. a> I don't remember which one it's in, but there are only a few. I seem to recall that just rechecking that option fixes it right up. There is no desktop menu. Without finding a textual command, how can a preference screen be opened? Reinstalling xfdesktop4 changed nothing. Perhaps reinstalling the xfce4 metapackage will fix it. But if the problem is in a global configuration file, which is left untouched, this won't help either. Ouch! Thanks for any further ideas, ... Peter E. Desktops.OpenDoc http://carnot.yi.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
