This is a complete nonsense - why are config files being over-written by
a safe-update ? Sorry - don't mean to rant, but this is a complete waste

It doesn't. But your existing session might have scribbled over something.

I'd suggest moving these directories to a "holding pen" and then restart:
~/.gnome2
~/.config/gnome-session/
~/.config/autostart/
~/.config/compiz/
~/.config/dconf/
~/.config/


Hi Ron

Done that and still it is reverting to this new and grossly unimproved version of my desktop.

I have tried a clean installation just to eliminate any other system file involved and must conclude that it is somewhere in one of my ~/ configuration files, but just not those you have mentioned ... .

Do you know of any other configuration files likely to influence this behaviour? I'm still getting that error message about an unknown window manager with an unregistered configuration tool, despite a vanilla install and preserving my ~/ partition.
