thank you for your bug report

Those warnings:
"Failed to open file '/home/njin/.local/share/recently-used.xbel': Permission denied."

suggest there is a permission issue with your configuration directory ... can you run "ls -l ~/.local/share/" and copy the output on the bug?

what about "ls -ld ~/.local/share/" ? and "ls -ld ~/.local"?

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

njin@njin:~$ ls -ld ~/.local/share/

njin@njin:~$ ls -ld ~/.local

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Sounds like a dupe of bug 1145689 (which has more detailed logs attached).

Workaround would be to move aside ~/.config/monitors.xml (but attach it here first).
