Thanks. I ended up having to wipe out .config/xfce4. I did not have any other xfce4 files/directories under .config,, but only under xfce4, and switching time using xfce4-appearance-settings did not help. (it must be that something else got corrupted) so I wipe out (rename out) .config/xfce4. and I was able to use Xfce again (losing panel preferences which I may reuse from renamed settings. Thank you for helping. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Suvayu Ali <fatkasuvayu+linux@xxxxxxxxx> To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wed, 05 May 2010 10:32:22 -0700 Subject: Re: Xfce theme switching caused Xfce to crash and now it would not to start - any suggestions for reset or re-config to default On Wednesday 05 May 2010 10:21 AM, Edmon Begoli wrote: Does anyone have a suggestion how to reset Xfce (ver. 4 of Fedora 12) so it would start again. I was switching themes to check them out and some setting cause Xfce to crash, and now Xfce is kicking me out to the login. I can only log in with Gnome or command line interface. Is there are a restore option, and if not where is the actual config. file that I could use to switch to the default theme. (I got to check which one is it first :-) ) Try renaming the xfce-session files directory. They are in ~/.config/. If that doesn't work out you can try renaming the entire xfce settings directory, same place again. $ ls -d .config/xfce4* .config/xfce4 .config/xfce4-session .config/xfce4-taskmanager.rc Thank you, Edmon GL -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Germán "A.

Then log out and enter in Xfce again. Hope this helps, Germán. -- Germán A.
