When I try to login to Xfce4 as user, either from the login manager

just get the blue screen with the Mandrake logo. As normal user, I
can log into KDE with no problem - but I'd rather not have to!
Doing 'startxfce4' as root works fine - but of course I'm then
logged in as root!
Because it works as root but not as a normal user, and KDE is not
affected, I assume that it is something in my Xfce user config that
is broken, not Xfce itself.
I'm sure there must be some way to fix this, but I'm not sure where
to start. Everything was fine yesterday, but not working when I
rebooted this morning.
[I blame the cat - attempting sneaky overnight downloads of 'kitty
porn' must have corrupted a file somewhere!]
Margot,
Login as root, cd into your USER home dir, rename the .cache directory,
then logoff, and try logging in again with XFce...
Thanks, Stephen, that did the trick - all back to normal now!
