With shame I confess that trying to free space in my home folder I inadvertently deleted .Xsessions, .xinitrc, .skel, and some other config files. After reboot all I got is a terminal window a sixth of the screen’s size, that can’t be reshaped not moved, but from where I can launch apps. Everything fine with the apps except that right click popups are not displayed. And that I can only have one app opened at a time.
I have another user in that machine, so I logged in with it, and same issue.
My uneducated guess is that I need to reset or reconfigure the windows system. I’ve been searching the web and the documentation and only got sax2, that is deprecated and X -configure, but it asks for an argument that I don’t know what could it be.
I’m using i3 as window manager, which lacks a lot of it’s functionalities in this state, I’m trying to enable debugging to get some info, but no luck so far.
The true is I don’t know what I should do to get my windows working properly again, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don’t have any of those in my home directory. So it must be possible to manage without them.
As far as I know, “.xinitrc” if for setting up a user defined session. And, based only on the name, I would guess that “.Xsessions” is also related to that.

You must have your system configured so that it requires a user defined session.
