I wish I'd thought of that. Here's what I did: After a reboot, and not having attempted to start X or xfce... mkdir ~/backup mv ~/.config ~/backup startxfce4 (or startx if .xinitrc starts xfce4) xfce starts with defaults. Click "quit" button in panel, or right-click desktop, Applications/Log Out. Click "Log Out". rm -rf ~/.config (this is the new copy just created by xfce). mv ~/backup/.config ~ After that, xfce starts every time. Or at least every time I've tried--20 times in a row on one system. And it's worked on two systems. Now why it worked... -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
