Hi,
I found with Cyril Brulebois where the problem was. In fact my file
.config is my kernel config. This name is the default name of a kernel
config. Since it's a hidden file, it can easily be forgotten in the home
directory. I moved this file and my problem was then closed, a directory
.config/ made with the xfce file's configuration.
This problem can be frequent, and I agree with Cyril Brulebois's
proposition.
