Fresh install of Linux Lite shows stock XFCE desktop

[Artim]

Something in your preserved /home partition is messing it up. Preserving /home between distros is never clean and tidy, since it preserved settings and all kinds of other things. Save your important stuff to a USB stick and re-install formatting the /home partition. When I installed Linux Lite over SalixOS (Slackware-based, Xfce desktop) I saved my /home partition and messed up the desktop. There's a lot more stuff in that partition than most people realize. Not just bookmarks and passwords, docs, pics, and tunes.
