Hopefully reactivating an old thread whose reply does not work with FC37...
I have an x86 FC37 XFCE-spin whose GUI setups had a kind of creeping death, then went bonkers.
I'd like to force-reinstall XFCE completely (no desire to save any X/XFCE configs- would like all that re-initialized, like a XFCE-spin fresh-install (at least for the X-stuff only).
Unless you personally messed around with XFCE files outside of your homespace, then none of XFCE should be broken. And a reinstall won't change anything.
Your own configuration is within your own homespace. You can test this by creating a completely new user, and see if that behaves as expected. Then if that's the case, you can hunt down your ~/.config/xfce4/ config files and remove them, resetting your own account configurations.
If XFCE has broken files, and *you* didn't do it, then you may have a hard drive failure. Replacing it is the answer to that.
