Are you sure it isrunning?What does ps aux|grep xfwm4 say when you run it?Does /var/log/XFree86.0.log list any errors running xfwm4?

Hi Simon, I've the /usr/bin/xfce4-session still; also the xfwm installed; I've opened it and saved the session, I've deleted the ~/.config/sessions/xfce4-session* as you said and the problem still persists. Here is the screen shot showing how the windows look like: http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/5908/snapshot16gg.png Note the missing close and minimzing buttons at the top corner.

Do you have xfwm4 installed? Can you run xfwm4 once you start xfce? If so then do so and save your session when you logout. If you can't, and your session manager is pointing at xfce4-session then try removing ~/.config/sessions/xfce4-session* and restarting X so that you get the default session back. Simon -- ...

Xfce question
Hi, The other day, I installed enlightenment as a desktop on xfce. But I didn't like the feel of it and removed enlightenment and all the files I created during the installation. Now, xfce has no window-manager and I cannot move the windows on the screen. How can I restore the default settings?I am running Sarge.Thanks,J. Mak Find your next car at Yahoo! Canada Autos
