Initially I was able to deal with it by logging out and back in again and the problem would seemingly self-correct. In the last 24 hours, a new issue arose: I seemed to have what looked like two desktops appearing simultaneously and I could notice two sets of icons distinguished by size. Moreover, one set I could manipulate with the mouse and the other I couldn't.
I checked the process list and after some looking I saw a process called "desktopfolder", something which I had hitherto not seen. I killed that process, got my desktop back and was able to get access to the icons and files. This has never happened to me before.
Has anyone else had this experience? I'm thinking that these issues might be caused by some of the GTK3 themes.... but I'm not sure. Does anyone more expert than me actually know what is going on here? I seem to know how to deal with it and get the workflow back but I would like to know more about this phenomenon.
Thank all you good people in advance.
