Hello,
I seem to be having a problem with Xfce: Xfce runs just fine and fast, however, each time I start it it shows the Xfce desktop for a short while, then switches to the Gnome desktop... I have to enter the Xfce desktop settings and enable "Allow Xfce to manage the desktop" manually each time, which is quite annoying.
It also switches back to the Gnome desktop inbetween using programs sometimes, for example when I try to set an icon theme in Xfce's User Interface Preferences.
Saving the session doesn't work and rather creates duplicate entries of all programs already running that would also start on startup (what a messy mistake by Xfce)... Also, I'm using regular Ubuntu (upgraded 7.04 > 7.10 > 8.04) and used Gnome before I decided to switch to Xfce.
Any help?
EDIT: by the way, it wasn't always like this. It happened sometime after I was messing around with the look/layout preferences and ran the Gnome layout preferences inside Xfce once... This might have messed up something, but I'm not sure what.
