Settings | Users Appears then Vanishes

[nalexand]

In All Settings, when I click on Users, it flashes quickly on the screen and then the whole All Settings (including Users) disappears. The applet just stops.

I installed this (latest rolling) from ISO in a VMware VM about two weeks ago. I've since updated it according to the Kali blog instructions for installing native VMware tools. I've also installed

Notepadqq
PuTTY

according to their instructions for the 'automatic' smooth installations (all dependencies and libraries). But I haven't done any other 'tweaks' because I'm still learning.

Any ideas as to why the Users applet stopped working?


Thanks in advance...

As an update:

1. I forgot to mention that I rebooted at least once to see if there was something that got 'stuck'.
2. When I went to shut it down the last time yesterday, it stopped for 2min and showed that it was trying to stop a process for Users, but I didn't get the precise info. But it was interesting to see that it had apparently loaded something, just no longer showed it on the GUI.


Thanks for any help you might offer...
