Bug? Exit Minimenu Lose Decorations

[HackModford]

It seems that if I exit minimenu I consinstently lose window decorations.

I'm using hotfix 2 with codecs installed and booting into minimenu by default.

Exit to where?

 

[HackModford]

to ?xcfe? or full desktop mode of course.

 

[EvilDragon]

So you run "Switch GUI" and select XFCE4?

 

[HackModford]

Yes and then once I'm in the desktop mode if I open anything it has no window decorations i.e. border with x

So all windows are in the top left and can't be moved.

No window decorations usually indicates no window manager is running.

Yeah, but I wonder why - it works for me...

For what it's worth, I'm not sure about the Pandora, but on xfce on a desktop pc you can open up a terminal session and run 'xfwm4' or probably more appropriate 'xfwm4 --daemon' (runs as a service in background) and you should get your window decorations back...

 

[HackModford]

I'm not so sure it's related to minimenu now.

I'm booting into xcfe4 by default now. and I still don't have decorations. I lost my mouse somehow too. Just got the X or nothing.

And running xfwm4 brings everything back!

 

[EvilDragon]

Hmm, looks like your XFCE4-Session got somehow corrupted and doesn't load the Window Manager.
You could try to check Settings/Session Setup in XFCE4 and try to enable xfwm4 on startup
