I see, yes.  Looks like I made a right mess of it.
So apologizing to the moderators for loading piles of unnecessary

I have not seen anything suggesting I could `choose' anything .. I
just login at the greeter prompt... The same since installation.
There are no choices to make.

It sounds like you must see something on the login screen offering
choices of what kind of session you want.  I see nothing of that sort.

How would I know if I accidentally did switch to openbox?.... is there
some way to identify the type of session that opens when I log in.

Should I perhaps rename ~/.config  then logout and see what happens
when I log back in? Or would that just be creating more trouble?
