When Xfce 4.13 starts misbehaving and you can not get activate items from Panel 0 with your mouse, you have to log off with the command line.  

Problem (other than the above): `xfce4-session-logout --logout`  "always" saves your session, so you are forced to go back and log out with the gui several times before you get everything removed that you do not want to start up automatically.  This is especially dangerous as if you accidentally run a second incidence of Osmo as your Osmo database will corrupt.  

And since the GUI already has this feature, it should not be to difficult to add it to the command line.

Many thanks,
-T

My notes:

How to log out of Xfce from the command line:

$ xfce4-session-logout --logout

Never mind.  I just found the "--fast" option and in my own notes too.  Please remove this bug report.
