The contents of /etc/skel are copied on first boot.
At a guess, either you ran out of space in /home/user or you timed out
on qrexec, and the copy halted.
Solution is to create your qube, and set qrexec_timeout at a high value,
and increase size of private storage *before* you first boot. (You cant
do this after first boot because /etc/skel wont be copied then.)

Thanks. Good to know about qrexec_timeout.

The disk was full.

I had added this line

qvm-volume extend Dev-2:private 10gb

in the script that creates the AppVM but had commented it out because I of something I tried before and forgotten about it.
