Hi All,

The reason for the reinstall was to correct teh issue
with having to always press "end" to get renames in
krusader to take.  And it worked.


Got it (krusader issue) fixed.

Before doing the below, I did a

# dnf group remove 'Xfce Desktop'
Warning: Module or Group 'Xfce Desktop' is not installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

And is seems the Xfce was never installed with a group install.

Here is how I fixed it:

1) booted into MATE (`init 3` would have also worked.)

2) did a
         # rpm -qa xfce4\*
3) removed each package, except terminal, which I was
    using in MATE, one at a time:
         # dnf remove xfce4_packages(s)

4) reinstalled Xfce
         # dnf group install 'Xfce Desktop'

5) booted back into Xfce

6) tested krusader's rename.  Problem solved.

I also noticed Xfce was snappier too.



Here are my notes on group install and removing Xfce:

Xfce group install:

Note: there is no group reinstall. You have to do a two step remove and 
install

List:
    # dnf group list | grep -i xfce
    Xfce Desktop

Remove:
    Warning: removed lightdm-gtk and way more things than just Xfce!!
             Consider looking for `xfce4` packages and removing them
             individually:
                  rpm -qa xfce4\*

    Get out of Xfce.  MATE works for this.  Also `init 3` and `xinit -- :0`
    for command line only.

    # dnf groupremove 'Xfce Desktop'
    # dnf remove @xfce-desktop-environment


Install:
    # dnf group install 'Xfce Desktop'
    # dnf install @xfce-desktop-environment




Thank you all for the help.
