Hopefully reactivating an old thread whose reply does not work with FC37...

 I have an x86 FC37 XFCE-spin whose GUI setups had a kind of creeping death, then went bonkers.

 I'd like to force-reinstall XFCE completely (no desire to save any X/XFCE configs-  would like all that re-initialized, like a XFCE-spin fresh-install (at least for the X-stuff only).

 I tried some online suggestions, but XFCE is still not right, the background image does not show (only black screen), the 'pager' does not work (only 1 page is shown when there it says there should be 8 workspaces).  also, desktop and progs are not remembered when i leave/restart the session.

 Attempting to reinstall from thread and online-article suggestions;  one problem is that running the suggested:

    dnf groupremove 'Xfce Desktop'

 Results in a dnf error about it would result in removing dnf and sudo.  using the suggested '--skip-broken' does not work.


 Note: I start FC37 in text-mode (lightdm), and only run X when I need it by running 'startx'.
