Which means it is not an X problem and not a system level problem. Which means the problem is probably something related to the desktop in the user $HOME/.config and other files. If you create a fresh pristine new user "anothertom" or some such does it all work for that new user? If so then the problem is not system related but corruption of files in the $HOME. Bob
