             Bug #: 7986
           Summary: xfce4-session kills apps by SIGKILL at end of the
                    session

I observe this behavior with opera, which provides at the next start the dialog
to recovery opera's windows, while it was ended by incorect way. After some
investigation i find, that opera gets SIGKILL signal, which do not ends
applications gracefully.

This behavior is strange with other apps too (claws-mail do not save his
setting changes and problems was on IRC mentioned with keepassx too). It is
problem mainly with apps, which are desired to run by whole session and for
these, which are sitting in the SysTray too, while the users do not close them,
before ending the session.

My settings are - do not save session at end and i am using custom buttons, to
end session, which are calling the command:

"xfce4-session-logout --fast ACTION"

But killing by SIGKILL appears if i am using the default logout dialog too.

Slavko
