Hi William,
xfce configuration files relevant to your user session are stored in
your home dir.
you can more or less just delete / move the config files and they should
get recreated upon logging in to a xfce session.
I searched on google for "reset xfce configuration" and found many posts
like this:
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=122332
"Open a terminal, back up your current configuration:
Code: Select all
mv ~/.config/xfce4 ~/.config/xfce4.bak
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:
Code: Select all
cp -r /etc/xdg/xfce4 ~/.config
Then log out and log in again to effectuate the new configuration."
I believe you good get results in such a way.
It also might be just smth small which is broken.
Could you describe "broken" some more? A panel might be hidden but u can
access all xfce configuration panels by right clicking on the empty
desktop open a menu, than applications follwed by settings.
Also take a look at the xfce project documentation, it's quite large
with many screenshots to demonstrate the principles of xfce
https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/getting-started#the_desktop_environment
Nearly everything is just a right click from configuration separated.
You could also create a new user account with xfce configured as default
session and copy your files over :)
Good luck :)
Cheers,
Martin

My desktop environment has problems, the title bar is hidden.
Well, William, from your extensive description of the situation, you
may well have enabled full-screen or have a resolution problem.
It could be anything.
When did this first start happening?
Is there any possible causative action you might have taken which
initiated this behaviour?
Cheers!
The problem started 1 month ago. I don't know what caused the problem, a
day logged in on my laptop and the desktop environment is ruined.
I decided to change my desktop environment for gnome but I want to recover
my old desktop environment XFCE.
*What command is needed to show the error?*
In this way I can supply more information about the problem.
P.D: I search some help in https://wiki.debian.org/Xfce but the problem
still exist
