           Summary: Some programs render xfce with save-session unusable
        QA Contact: bjt23 at cornell.edu
          Severity: major
    Classification: Xfce
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: mikolaj at lavabit.com
          Hardware: PC (x86)
            Status: NEW
           Version: 4.8.2
         Component: General
           Product: Xfce4-session

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
---------------------------------
