[xubuntu-users] xubuntu-users Digest, Vol 65, Issue 41

[Mario Tavares]

I think you can open the terminal and try:

"xfwm4 --replace"

I had same problem when Update Manager installed kernel-pae! Everything
goes back when I purged pae. (My machine has 3 GB memory ram and its
incompatible. Check for kernels installed with Synaptic. Good luck!

> Hi,

> save electricity, but when I started up my desktop this morning xwindow
> and/or xfcr4 is not working properly (please see the enclosed screen shoot

>   * the titlebars of all the windows (terminal, firefox, any
> x-applications) are gone
>  * previously I set the background of the xfce4 panel to be transparent;
> now it's solid
>  * previously I set two workspace, but the workspace widget now shows just
> one, and it does not show any of the x-applications that is currently
> running (I did check settings-->workspace and its   says that I have two
> workspace, but under "name of workspace" it only says "1" -- it used to say
> "1" and "2", I believe)
>  * I can no longer press-down-alt-and-right-click-mouse to change the size
> of an existing x-window
>  * I used noscript in firefox, but when I right click the mouse to adjust
> permission, I do see the right-click menu but as soon as I move the mouse
> pointer the right-click menu is gone!  Interesting enough, I don't have
> this problem in google chrome
>  * when I click on an x-window that's under another x-window, it no longer
> pops up to the top.
