OK so I was trying to install beyrl but I failed and I decided to uninstall what I had done.

Now when I am xfce there is no window boarders, the xfce window manager doesn't seem to enguage.

Where do I start? I recompiled the whole of xfce4 but that didn't help.
I just don't know were to begin.

Woah I had a a random idea to just create a different user account and test it out. Sure enough everything works fine.

Must be a config for my account file is messed up somewhere. Anyone have an idea what it could be?

Well it could be a couple of things depending on what you changed. If you're using xfce's session manager, it's probably related to that. Delete everything from ~/.cache/sessions. Or just open an xterm window and run

Try removing ~/.config/xfce*. You will have to reconfigure xfce for that user, though.
