Greetings,
Today, suddenly certain keyboard and windowing functionality stopped.
No longer can I cycle through windows on a desktop by using Alt-Tab.
Also, the windowing capabilities - maximize/minimize a window
disappeared. There are a few other similar abnormalities.
I thought that this may have been due to some sort of a software
update; but I haven't done any in the last few days.
I know that there is an oddity/bug in XFCE that the keyboard stops
functioning if you hold down one of the shift keys for too long.
But this seems to be something very differt.
If anyone has experienced this problem and resolved it, please share
your solution.
Otherwise, it's into the Gnome 3 world.
Sounds like (as several other folks have mentioned) xfwm4 died.
If you can get to a terminal, do:
xfwm4 --replace &
If you cannot, you can try clearing your session out and logging in
again:
rm ~/.cache/sessions/xfce4-sessions*
Note that this will clear out things like what applications you had
running, etc.
You might note that he may need to use something like CTRL+ALT+F2 to get
to a text console to do that deletion.
