I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature... When starting xfce4-session for the first time (no ~/.config/xfce4-session/... present), it asks the user to either cancel the login (not an option ;-) or create a new session. The user then has to type in a name for the new session. Shouldn't in that case the default session be loaded? xfce4-session version: CVS 20040721, 4.1.12 Btw., the 'Simple' theme is neat, why not make it default? ;-)
Please check if a session file is present (~/.cache/sessions/). The chooser is displayed if xfce4-session detects a session file. The 'Simple' engine is nice, sure, but I prefer the 'Mice' engine, thats why its the default :-)
You were right, when no ~/.cache/sessions/ entry is present, the default session gets started without prompting. But when it's there and one gets prompted to choose/enter a new session, one can double-click on the default session icon/entry to proceed with that. This double-click possibility wasn't obvious to me, so I thought the Default session could not be selected. Maybe a "Launch selected session" button or something would be good?
Yeah, I used to had a 3rd button for "Launch", but I thought that double-clicking was more intuitive.
;-) well ok, now I know. Maybe I just spend too much time in front of my computer, losing intuition ;-)
mass reassign from zz-do-not-use to general, so i can remove the zz-do-not-use component. sorry for the spam, search for this string to filter these: fis7cldoq35p3kjdu74emc
To me it looks as if this could be closed.
Done.
