[ubuntu-uk] help on debugging desktop issue?

[Alan Lord]

Just as a follow up on this one. I gave up trying to fix my existing 
user - I couldn't really find much online as to what the issue might 
have been, and not much on the logs either.

So I just created a new user, and then moved all the data I needed 
across to that one. It was a PITA and took ages but at least it works 
now. One bonus is I now have a clean desktop again ;-)
