Openbox/Xfwm problem

france75006 · 2011-09-27 22:02:33

Dear all,

lately I've been playing with my Debian-Squeeze-xfce machine, swapping Xfwm with Openbox:

killall xfwm4 ; openbox & exit

and saving the session.

What happened is that, after the gdm login, I had to wait for quite a few more seconds than before, and what's more surprising, I did not get everytime Openbox as WM. Sometimes I got Xfwm, sometimes Openbox, it was unpredictable.

So I've removed Openbox, right, but I still have to wait a lot after the gdm login before I get to my desktop.

Where can I have a look to see what's going on? How can I get back to the pristine situation?

Thanks for your help!

If you want to reset your Xfce settings try deleting these folders:

~/.cache/sessions/
~/.config/xfce4/
~/.config/xfce4-session/

thanks anonymous!

I didn't have (and still don't) a

~/.config/xfce4-session/

folder, but I've deleted the other two, and I can already see a great difference in rapidity.

Shall I delete

~/.cache/xfce4/

as well?

It couldn't hurt.

Then I will.

Thanks again anonymous.
