xfce broken after attempting a reset
by thethinker from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5D4D9)
I was having some graphical glitches on my Slackware 14.2 system. I thought maybe resetting the windows manager, so I ran
Code:xfce4-panel -r && xfwm4 --replaceThis turned out to be very unwise - my windows manager is basically non-functional. The top bar is gone, I can't interact with it via alt-tab or ctrl-alt-arrow, the desktop is black....I can get a terminal (so I can get firefox), but if I open a terminal with firefox open, the terminal covers the browser (maybe that's an issue with the "focus")....
If I could roll back the configuration, that would be perfect, but at this point I would take a complete reset over this.
UPDATE: rm -r ~/.config/xfce4 has no effect. Meaning that xfce does indeed reset (I get the "default setup or one panel" option), but everything else is the same - no top bar, no alt-tab, no control of windows of any kind.
Any suggestions?
