[gentoo-user] xfce (window manager)

[András Csányi]

Dear All,

I would like to ask the community anybody has experienced any problems
regarding xfce?
My problem is that after update the window decorators (window border,
header the buttons on the left side [close, minimize, etc]) are
missing. I'm sorry I'm not sure the window decorators definition is
the proper for them.

I've deleted my xfce settings to start a session with default settings
without any success.

Anybody has any idea or suggestion what should I do?

Thanks in advance!

András

Hmmm... This is the first time when I hear about this, but I've
checked mine and the value is "xfce-". I think this is not so good,
isn't it?
By the way I solved the problem mentioned my previous letter. I
deleted the xfce4 profile. But when I try to log out 2 process
(xfce4-panel and xfce4-session) eat my CPU and I have to kill them
because kdm doesn't come back until these processes run. Could be the
root cause in this case the not properly set up XDG_MENU_PREFIX
variable?

Thanks in advance!
