It could be that I mean .tdmrc, but I seem to remember .dmrc, which I believe might be a clue to the source of the problem. > > In "/run/user/1000", there is this a strange directory : > d????????? ? ? ? ? ? doc > It's impossible do delete it. Something in what you write here reminds me of a bug we had a few years ago (maybe 5 years ago or more?). I thought maybe it was that xdg-update problem that many of us experienced back then, but I just did a search of the mailing list archives, and cannot find anything that matches. I must call on others to jump in here, if they remember. If I find out more, I will post again. However, I believe that .dmrc is connected to that earlier bug, something with xdg-update in the header. > > > Just out of curiosity, do you enable root password in Debian?

Just enable shadow passwords, but do not create a root password when installing Debian or Devuan or one of their variant distros. You will save yourself a lot of grief. There may be other factors that affect how you decide; not only whether there are other users on your machine, but also if you work in an environment where you worry about other people getting into your machine, or having your machine stolen, and so on. Things keep changing, though, and we can all better, more secure habits.
