Comment 1 Roland 2015-11-11 19:35:34 CET
If a user wants to run two simultaneous sessions from the same Home directory
the XFCE config space can be set individually using different values of XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_CACHE_HOME for the two sessions. This works for all components I have checked but not for xfce-panel. So changes to the panel in session 1 overwrite changes in session 2. This is very inconvenient for this type of scenario. I encounter this when running a normal desktop session on my work machine in parallel to a second session running under X2GO (to be used when I work from home or on the road) on the same home directory.
