Hello All,
I was using XUbuntu 12.04 and everything was working great. As I use this machine as a server, I do not log into the desktop very often, and I do most of my updates over the network via SSH. I am not sure if my problem happened after an update, but one day I logged into my account and the window manager was not working. None of the windows I opened had any title bars, along with the accompanying min/max, close, etc. buttons. I also cannot right-click on the desktop and I cannot switch to a different desktop using the desktop switcher. I created a new account and logged in with that, and everything works perfectly. A few days ago, I got prompted to upgrade to 14.04, so I did in the hopes that whatever was "broken" would be fixed with the update. As it turns out, that was not the case. The update went well, and I still have my issue in my profile only. Whenever I log in as another user, everything works great. I did a brief Google search for the issue and the only thing I could find was the command "xfce4 --replace", but I do not seem to have the "xfce4" command. I have a lot of "xfce4-xxxx" commands, but no "xfce4" by itself. Does anybody know what could be causing this, and possibly have a fix for me?
Thanks for taking the time to read. Have a great day. :-)
