xfce4-session-logout creates significant slowdown until displaying the dialog. Creating the dialog slows down the entire system for up to 10 seconds before displaying it. Various inputs such as clicking the mouse and pressing keyboard keys sometimes speeds it up tho I'm unsure if related. Video of this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aHFpzjSUmA
Strange. The only thing that goes on when starting the logout dialog is that there's a screenshot taken of your desktop which is then part of a toplevel window covering everything (that's how the rest of the desktop is darkened and no input on other windows is allowed). Which version of xfce4-session are you running and what system are you running this on? Is it particularly low-spec?

Is it particularly low-spec? It's xfce4-session version 4.12.1 running on an FX-8350 with 8 gigs of ram and an RX480 GPU. Arch Linux.
Just tested some more out. Im running a dual monitor configuration. Turning off the second monitor seems to resolve this issue. However it is definitely a bug worth reporting. The two monitors are 1920x1080 and 1280x1024, both at 75Hz
Do you have compositing enabled? If not, that's potentially also going to slow down the logout dialog (at least that's my understanding from reading the code).

Just tested, turning off compositing also mitigates the issue. Problem still stands tho. What could be the reason for this? Surely the extra monitor couldnt be bringing a capable system to its knees like this.
