XFCE shouldn't have messed > with system wide files, but it seems it did. hmm, starting a second session for the user starts the correct desktop. I wonder which file determines which desktop is started. Apparently it is not the files .Xclients or .Xclients-defaults because those point to "startkde" and that's also started for the second X session. Either switchdesk or something in XFCE has changed my system configuration such a way that now only XFCE can be started and switchdesk is overruled by something else. Looking at files that changed on the specific date also didn't return any useful info. It's a complete mystery to me what has happened but some graphical tools messed up very badly (either XFCE configuration or switchdesk as I didn't use any other). Regards, Marcel
