In the settings Menu (customize your desktop) the Windows Manager opens with an empty window. It is impossible to change any settings. When I open a new window it sticks to the top level above all other windows but the first window that I opened keeps the focus. Clicking with the mouse to other windows does not help. There is no boarder on my windows. I cannot move the windows around on the desktop. All the minimize, maximize, close etc. buttons are missing in all the windows.
Missing data here... Can you provide: 1. The output of" ps auxww" to check if the window manager is running 2. From a terminal, run $ xfwm4 --replace --daemon And provide the output of the above command 3. What's your distro?
