When I startx xfce , the desktop opens all screwed up. The desktop is divided into 6 equal horizontal stripes. Each stripe starts about 100 pixels to the right of the one above it, and wraps around to the left.
Screenshot doesn't work.
But if I delete ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfwm4.xml , no problem!
Here's xfwm4.xml. I don't see anything odd.
cat .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfwm4.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
