Hi, all.
I have xfce installed and having changed the look of my desktop several times, would like to just start afresh, as xfce intended (or post Mint install). I can't see an xfce .config type file in my /home, and wondered where it can be found. I'd just like to delete it and start again.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Many thanks,
Chris.

Re: How do I reset all my xfce desktop (xfwm?) settings?
Open a terminal, back up your current configuration:
Then either leave it like that, which will reset to a default Xfce desktop (no Linux Mint customizations), or copy the skeleton files with the following command, which will reset to a default Linux Mint Xfce desktop:
Then log out and log in again to effectuate the new configuration.
Code: Select all
mv ~/.config/xfce4 ~/.config/xfce4.bak
Code: Select all
cp -r /etc/xdg/xfce4 ~/.config

I deleted /.config/xfce4
If i install xfce4 with apt-get install xfce4 will install xfce4 with default look, but not with look like Linux Mint 15 Xfce edition.
My version is Linux Mint 15 Xfce 64bit.
