Trying a different/new user will give the same results. Renaming the
config files to .old or something then testing will allow you to go back
if it doesn't help. You just rename and remove .old. Just delete the
new one first. Still, either way will work. I have a dale2 user just
for that purpose I might add.
Given everything is there, I'm not sure what to try next. I was hoping
someone else would have a idea.
Bad news (for me) (;-)
I created a new user and for this user everything works as it should -
now I just have to figure out the best way to somehow recreate my
personalized setup after moving the old configuration out of the way.
Greetings,
Instead of recreating all your user settings, I'd start by diffing the two
users directories. This would point to files which are probably irrelevant to
your issue, e.g. application files, and consequently leave you with some
generic desktop configuration files to compare.
Plus, this may be a good time to rename the config directory to .old and
copy one or two files over at a time until you find a failure. Then you
know which file is causing the problem and can restore the other files
and only have to reconfigure what that one file creates.
Either way you do this it will require some time and effort. Mick's
idea may be faster. Files with no difference won't matter so no point
copying them over one or two at a time. Just do that for the ones that
are different. Keep in mind, you can't always do this with different
users unless you change the permissions.
Post what, if anything, you figure out tho. It may help some other poor
soul with the same issue.
After some fiddling around, sorry research, I narrowed down the issue to
one single file:
~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
After deleting this file, and this file only, my "Left Click" started
working again. BUT every single configuration of my Desktop (shortcuts,
panel-configuration and so on) was lost in the process. (:-(
Well, first computer is done, now for the second one.
Thanks for all feedback and a Happy New Year to everyone!
