Hi RonDone that and still it is reverting to this new and grossly unimproved version of my desktop.
I have tried a clean installation just to eliminate any other system file involved and must conclude that it is somewhere in one of my ~/ configuration files, but just not those you have mentioned ... .
Do you know of any other configuration files likely to influence this behaviour? I'm still getting that error message about an unknown window manager with an unregistered configuration tool, despite a vanilla install and preserving my ~/ partition.
