Re: [PLUG] who's managing the manager?

I use XFCE. For some reason, some extremely poorly behaved app caused
GNOME to want to own my desktop. Every time it starts, there's the

note that if I don't want XFCE managing the desktop next time, do not
save settings on quitting.

I have tried saving, not saving, and saving while standing on my left
leg on Wednesdays (only), but XFCE doesn't seem to want to start.

I went online and checked XFCE's docs but nothing seems correct. I
checked xinitrc but it doesn't seem relevant and is never where it's
supposed to be anyway.

I know from past experience (don't ask me how) that it's not a good idea
to remove GNOME pieces. I have even been in and out of the relevant
hierarchies.

Not like it's the biggest problem I have now, but curiosity... killed
the geek.

What does `switchdesk` say when you run it?
