Public bug reported:
After recovering from a failed upgrade from Xubuntu 19.04 to 19.10, I'm
left with a system where the xfwm4 window manager is constantly
crashing. I get a desktop on my primary screen :0.0 but there is
neither a xfce4-panel nor a window manager. With great difficulty I can
start apps, but without the window manager, there is no way to move,
resize or close them. Overlapping or hidden windows remain as such.
You cannot use right-click or pull-down menus in most apps.
Every attempt to start xfwm4 results in a crash with a crash file in
/var/crash.
This message in kern.log:
Jan 12 20:22:38 dymaxion kernel: [ 54.589712] traps:
xfwm4[5044] trap int3 ip:7fc4d1afb8e5 sp:7fff265927e0 error:0
in libglib-2.0.so.0.6200.1[7fc4d1ac0000+83000]
indicates that the problem is an interaction with
libglib-2.0.so.0.6200.1. Both xfwm4 and the libglib package that
provides the above library have been reinstalled.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I'm pretty much dead in
the water at the moment.
