You were oh so right Brian. I had changed the window manager in / home. Now whenever I restore root nothing is fixed. I will NEVER do a dist-upgrade again. Everytime I have my system crashes! Now I am trying to restore my home directory which was created with rsync. The exact command was:

rsync -aWuq --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk

What would the command be to restore My home directory. I figure it is easier to restore home (which I had just recently update) than to fix the window manager.
