I have just restated by Xfce4 user on my Bookworm system and find
that I can no longer resize some of the apps on the desktop and the

Often, this is an indication that the window manager isn't running.
For XFCE4, the window manager is called "xfwm4". Try pressing "Alt+F2"
to bring up the launch dialog, enter "xfwm4" at the prompt and press
enter.
This is only om my user directory, the root directory is still normal.
Don't run X sessions (read: don't run XFCE) as root.
I have not the faintest idea as to what might be going on and would
greatly appreciate assistance.
Thanks in advance.
Well, the problem is back. I logged out and back in, and there it was!
I tried "Alt+F2" then "xfwm4" (without the quotes, of course) and got
nothing.
Please power off your computer. Then power on your computer. Then
document every command or value you enter into the computer and every
response by the computer. If and when the computer does something other
than what you expect, document what the computer did and what you
expected it to do. Research the proper terminology and use it. Then
power off, power on, follow your document, and see if the issues are
repeatable. Then post your document.
