I have problems with using xfce save-session feature. When I have some programs running (so far I have found exaile and clementine { both are music players, coincidence? } to cause(?) troubles). and attempt to logout with save-session toggled xfce simply does nothing. When I press the logout button again xfce tells me that it is 'Unable to communicate with session manager'. Then two things may happen. I may sit in despair and after minute or so xfce will log me out. Or I can manually kill the offending process ( say, exaile ) with the same effect. But then, upon next login xfwm4 is not started automatically, so I have to rescue myself with alt+F2. - I am sure i have dbus, consolekit services running. - Output from ck-list-sessions seems legit. !- And most importantly without music player running everything works perfectly. Components installed: gentoo stable slim my .xinitrc is --------------------------------- PATH="$PATH:/usr/games/bin" exec ck-launch-session startxfce4 --------------------------------- Regards, Mikolaj Paraniak
