Hi everyone,
I'm running openSuSE 10.2, and decided I wanted to try some of the 3D
Desktop effects. So I tried activating them through the YaST control
panel. Now not only do I not have 3D effects, I seem to have lost my
window manager as well. I can open apps and applets, utilities and
folders, but none have a title bar to grab for moving the window, and
none have the max, min, and close buttons, and if it doesn't have a
close or quit option in a drop down menu, I can't close it (them).
So I end up with a screen full of unmoveable, unresizeable, and in some
cases, uncloseable windows. It reminds me of an old steamer trunk with
decals plastered all over it.
The boot screen only shows 2 icons just prior to opening the desktop:
the desktop icon, and the Gnome footprint icon. The double window icon
is no longer there.
Booting as root is normal with all 3 icons in the splash screen, and
full window(s) functionality. So this problem seems contained to my user
account.
I'm hopeful that restoring the window manager will also let me configure
the 3D effects, but if not, I'd like to get back to normal. Any
suggestions?
Bruce
