xfwm4 manager not starting after uninstalling nvidia driver

I installed the nvidia-340xx driver, now I decided to remove it and removed the package nvidia-340xx and rebuilt the kernel.
Now, when starting xfce4 window manager won't start and i see error:

(xfwm4:2653): Gdk-WARNING **: 17:51:44.071: The program 'xfwm4' received an X Wi
ndow System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 2763 error_code 2 request_code 151 (GLX) minor_code 24)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
xfsettingsd: No window manager registered on screen 0.
xfce4-panel: No window manager registered on screen 0. To start the panel withou
t this check, run with --disable-wm-check.
No window manager registered on screen 0. To start the xfdesktop without this check, run with --disable-wm-check.

I deleted the ~/.config, ~/.local, ~/.cache folders and it doesn't help! Also I reinstalled xfce4 and that didn't help either.
Help I don't know the reason

Re: xfwm4 manager not starting after uninstalling nvidia driver

did you also remove the corresponding -utils package?

Why did you rebuild the kernel?
