Suddenly my Xubuntu 20.04 installation went wrong: it boots, but it does not react to keyboard and the mouse pointer is not shown. The taskbar and the start button is visible. With ctr+esc I can activate the start button, but can't enter anything into it's search box.

I tried to replace the screensaver according to this post:

20.04 Mouse click and keyboard unresponsive

But it didn't help.

I can press ctrl+alt+F1...F7 and can change to console, and can shut down or reboot it.

I suspect that the window manager is screwed up somehow.

Is there a way to fix it without reinstalling?

I restarted xfwm4 via "alt + F2" according to this thread:

After rebooting everything seems working as before (keyboard, mouse, window decoration). Probably the xsession cache became garbled on the machine.
