Most of my PCs run xfce4 under F17 (fully updated); they've been
having mouse- a/o keyboard troubles lately, and sometimes also display
troubles, for all of which my usual suspect is my KVM switch or its
cables.
So I shut everything down, took each PC off the switch, connected
all the peripherals directly, and ran it for about a week.
Today I put everything back. Now PC #1 has a weird trouble, even
though it does see all the peripherals.
The workspace switcher lets me tell it I want 16 or 18 spaces,
but it shows only four of them down on the panel, and won't let me get to
any but the first.
Also, although the apps I have running do respond, I can't move
their windows around, nor even change which is on top.
I'm guessing that metacity, or maybe nautilus or thunar, may have
some bug somewhere. How do I get to the config files for those and
experiment with them??
