Black screen and no window decorations in Xfce after changing vblank_mode
by generic.newb_ from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GSYP)
Hello,
I experienced some performance problems on Xfce, slackware current. I wanted to change vblank_mode using Code:xfwm4 --vblank=xpresent --replace and Code:xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/vblank_mode -t string -s "xpresent" --create commands to see if it fixes it. It worked(it's smooth) but it completely broke xfce and now xfce starts with no window decorations and black screen and i have to run the first command to bring them back. Also every time i do this i get "Failed to connect to session manager: SESSION_MANAGER enviroment variable not defined." error
It works normally for different user(for root, but on different computer I managed to break root the same way.) Also everything works if before xfce i run KDE in different TTY(wierd). I tried replacing with root's or deleting xfce config files from user folder completely but it doesn't help.
I have exactly the same problem as "sgx45edaz4" in this thread: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=13233
but I don't know how to "change it manually"/where the config file is.
