Hi, I have recently upgraded my Xubutnu 13.10 install to Xubuntu 14.04. Now, the upgrade went fine but I did a fresh install of Xubuntu 14.04 on another machine. I quite like the set-up of the default configuration of Xubuntu 14.04. I was wondering if there is a way to revert to the default configuration. I was thinking that there may be a method through
dpkg-reconfigure but there are many packages related to xfce4.

Does anyone have any suggestions of which packages to reconfigure? I don't want to just try it and end up ruining any config files that would render my install unusable.

Thanks :)

The easiest way would be to delete (or move if you want to save the data for future reference) the ~/.config/xfce4 and ~/.cache/sessions directories. You should do this while not logged in (from Ctrl+Alt+F1). Then the next time that you login graphically (Ctrl+Alt+F7), those directories will be re-created with the distro defaults.

Thanks! Deleting these files did cause fresh ones to be generated.

Marked as solved for others and remembered for future upgrades :D
