2007/2/19, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi,
I was running out of space yesterday so I removed what I thought were some
unnecessary packages. Not thinking clearly, I removed xfwm4, thinking that
my
window manager is xfce4, and that I didn't need xfwm4.
When I rebooted, my familiar xfce4 X server started, and my task bar with
my
various applets seemed ok. But when I invoked an xterm I didn't get the
top bar
that let's me maximize/minimize and most importantly move around the
window.
It was then that I noticed that my virtual desktop switcher was missing,
so I
knew I had broken something.
A quick google taught me that xfwm4 is the window manager for xfce4, so I
was
wrong to remove it. No problem, a quick pacman -S got that.
However, the window manager doesn't seem to be active, even after shutting
down and restart my X server.
Having removed it, is there something I need to do to activate it?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

That's because tou probably saved the session (xfce automacally saves the
session when you logout, if not otherwise selected on xfce options) without
xfwm loaded. Just run xfwm4 from a terminal (or the xfrun-dialog) and then
logout. When you login, xfwm should be back on his own.
