I’ve seen a similar problem in here, but there was no solution offered there, so I’m trying my luck with opening this again.
I’m running xfce on X11, with a discrete nvidia gpu (gtx 1080) (a PC, not a laptop, so no hybrid mode).

I have this installation for about 2 years, and it used to work fine.
