(Get the code!)
dino99: I ran deborphan and bleachbit. Nothing major there.
The most recent change to this system was the setup of XFCE and XRDP for remote login. If I restart the machine, I can launch the GNOME apps like normal. To replicate the issue, I first have to remote login to XFCE (do something, then log out). Then I physically go to the PC and try to use a GNOME app in the GNOME DE. The XFCE and GNOME sessions use the same username. So it appears the GNOME apps may be getting confused as to which DE to use. But why just the GNOME apps and not everything else?
In order to set up the remote desktop, I modified the .xsession file to be this:
#!/bin/bash
xfce4-session
This allows me to log in as the same user on the local and remote sessions. Perhaps this is a bad practice, but it allows me to use my tower PC (in the basement) on my laptop (upstairs). Perhaps this would all work better if I set up a separate user (e.g., in the original username group to access the same files) for remote access instead of using the same username.
Still, I imagine if I log out of GNOME, log in remotely with XFCE, log out of XFCE, then log in to GNOME, the issue may still persist. I will try that now.
