Xfce XFDesktop not working

Hi guys, for some reason XFDesktop stopped to work, if I try to restart it, simply it won't:

Code: 
xfdesktop --quit && xfdesktop
xfdesktop is not running

And as a matter of fact I have .core file related:

Code: 
ls -l | grep .core
-rw-------   1 zagor zagor 189136896 Dec  6 00:26 nvidia-settings.core
-rw-------   1 zagor zagor  84180992 Nov 23 21:09 thunar.core
-rw-------   1 zagor zagor  80826368 Dec 15 01:39 wrapper-2.0.core
-rw-------   1 zagor zagor  72355840 Feb 23 01:40 xfdesktop-settings.core

Does anybody stepped in this issue and perhaps already solved?

Thanks... 🙏

There doesn't appear to be any issue.
Out of curiosity disable compositing and try again. If it works you have issues with the nvidia driver.
If not, try to just startx and see if it works, if yes, startxfce, if yes, that would be weird.. if no, try xfce on a new user (or just move xfce's configs to start fresh) if all is good maybe it's one of your plugins?
 
i have now,

Will try mate later & come back.
 
I haven't used this laptop for a while... It might be a regression, I hope next version will fix it. I can live without icons on the desktop.
 
I do believe that is actually the NVIDIA driver, I am having such weird issues with LibreWolf that I don't have with my Intel N100 using Tiger_vnc...
