Gnome desktop settings borked on testing after reboot
Hi all
Having just rebooted after an uptime of 7 days, I have logged into my
Gnome DE to find that all of my settings for the desktop have been
borked and the desktop is close to unfunctional.
These are some of the issues:
1. Windows manager is "unknown" and no configuration tool is registered
2. windows are launched at the top of the screen & I cannot drag these
elsewhere
3. clicking a mouse on a window does not bring it to the fore
4. there are no longer multiple workspaces
5. windows do not have the 'x' in the corner to close, nor any option to
minimise/ enlarge
6. a screensaver launches after ~30 seconds of inactivity (I don't use a
screensaver)
7. no key mapping exists
Both metacity and nautilus are the most current versions. No other
user-based changes made to configuration except for whatever gets
configured in safe updates using update-manager.
Can anyone please help - I really do need a usable desktop environment
to work in.
Thanks.
AG
