Specifics of X are outside my KB, but you could try reinstalling TDE to get the configs back.: # apt install --reinstall kubuntu-default-settings-trinity kubuntu-desktop-trinity Downside is you lose anything you've custom configured :( It's also possible, as those are meta packages, that you'll need to # aptitude show kubuntu-default-settings-trinity kubuntu-desktop-trinity and then individually --reinstall select package(s). If you're willing to --reinstall the whole box, there's Google posts on how to do that with Ubuntu. Post Script on power outs: I've found it best to always (even if it's said it's not needed) to do all my config changes, then do a reboot to 'lock' them in. IDK, disk caching?, but I've seen enough similar behavior (crash, even days later, and configs are odd upon re-start) that I'd rather waste the 5 minutes for the reboot than go digging back into xyz to re-find out how to set up something.
