           Summary: dbus should be started sooner in xinitrc
    Classification: Xfce
           Product: Xfce-utils
           Version: 4.6.1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
        ReportedBy: cody-somerville at ubuntu.com


dbus should be started sooner in xinitrc. Specifically, its probably best to
start it before starting anything that might use xinitrc (such as
gnome-screensaver). This will ensure proper setup of the dbus session and also
prevent hangs caused by race conditions when using older versions of libxcb.
