Thanks Hall!! Actually, on my system it didn't make any difference what I did in the ...e_session-XXXXXX.snapshots.0 file. I did exit E and X to edit the file, but no change to my desktop.
I finally ended up backing up my ...e_session-XXXXXX file before deleting it (just in case). After starting X and E without that file - everything works!! :) Thanks for your help.
