I had a problem with wxPython displaying on Mint 17.2 64-bit. This was fixed by installing gtk2-engines-oxygen. However the first time I re-booted after doing so caja started re-spawning more than once a second. The desktop icons are not displaying either so I think the issues are linked. How can I overcome this as it has made the laptop unusable. Uninstalling caja stops this (no desktop) but reinstalling re-introduces the problem. A search on a number of websites has given me no idea of how to fix this.
Caja - Respawning too rapidly
linux mint;desktop
I finally resolved this by edittinh /usr/share/applications/caja.desktop from:-Exec=cajaIcon=system-file-managerTerminal=falseto:-Exec=caja -nIcon=system-file-managerTerminal=falseHowever it is a mystery as to why the problem suddenly popped up...
