           Summary: Unable to log in from xdm
        QA Contact: bjt23 at cornell.edu
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Xfce
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: daniel.pielmeier at googlemail.com
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: 4.10.0
         Component: General
           Product: Xfce4-session

I am experiencing the same problem like here:
http://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce/2012-March/030209.html. When I try to start
XFCE from the xdm log in screen it always switches back to the screen and does
not log me in. When I start it from startx I am able to log in like normal.

I get the same error message in .xsession-errors like the reporter from the
mailing list:

/usr/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display :0
XDM authorization key matches an existing client!xfce4-session: Can not open
display: .
Type 'xfce4-session --help' for usage.

If I can provide more information jut ask.
