I removed .config/xfce4.session directory (it was empty anyway).

I  then moved xfce4 to xfce4.bak and started xfce but the result was the
same as far as windows having no borders. Only all my personal settings were
gone and I had no panels. So window manager was still not happy.

I saved the .xsession-errors file. Don't really see much of anything of
interest in there, pasting from it anyway::

The CRTC line is because my laptop is in a dock and already has 2 external
monitors. Has always been like that.
