I'm not sure which update did it - but at some point recently something broke my Desktop. I now have a grey background (instead of the gradient colour I had before) and no Desktop icons. Right clicking on the Desktop doesn't produce a menu any more, either.
My theme, sounds etc all seem to have been forcibly changed as well.
Also, when I attempt to start Phpstorm, it hangs on the splashscreen, and console shows:
Error parsing gtk-icon-sizes string: ''
Anyone have a suggestion how I fix it, or even diagnose what the problem is?
sudo stop gdm
thensudo start lightdm
.xfwm4 --replace
and/orxfdesktop --reload
and see if that helps, but your problem may need more than that to solve it. That error message usually appears if you have a broken theme installed, so there might be some errors in your gtk rc files if you are using custom themes or settings. Are there any clues in your.xsession-errors
or.xsession-errors.old
?xfdesktop
in Xfce 4.10, for which a fix should be available very soon.
