I think it is to do with "autostart" but I have no idea what. After 15 to 20 years of using XFCE my current solution is dnf groupinstall LXDE which has caused no problems with my account - yet. Aside/In addition I have been getting core dumps associated with xfce on F28 for several weeks but they have never made the machine unusable. This was definitely not a hardware problem as they occurred on at least two machines. dnf downgrade to xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.19.5-1.fc28.x86_64 did not appear to solve this problem. It was not possible to downgrade on F29 because of dependency problems. I'm pretty convinced xfce has some significant bugs. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
