Hi Thomas,

I've never heard of a session segfault like this so bear with me, I'm not sure
exactly where to get the right information. I assume you segfault when clicking
on Logout or on Shutdown, but that just opening the dialog is ok and just
clicking Suspend is ok. Tell me if I'm wrong.

First, it'd be good to have an exact idea of what hardware you run, and what
services are running on your machine. Could you please tell us about your
hardware (attach the output of 'lshw')? We also need to know if you're on amd64
or x86 so we can replicate the libraries and dependencies on your system. As
you're on ArchLinux and it's a rolling distro it won't be so easy, so it'd be
great to inform us when exactly you last updated.

We might also want to know what programs your session needs to talk to when
shutting down. Do you have session saving enabled?, the programs in your xfce4
session (attach the contents of files named ~/.config/sessions/xfce4-session*),
and your autostart apps (attach all the files in ~/.config/autostart/).

I'm asking you for this just to find if specific conditions trigger this bug.
It's unlikely that this information alone tells us what's going on and we'll
really need one of the people who know Xfce4-session to comment and tell what
exactly could cause such a crash.

If you know how to build Arch packages, it would help a lot to build a debug
version of Xfce4-session, and then ensure that your system will produce a core
dump when it crashes (look up here for instructions:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17965/generate-a-core-dump-in-linux).

With the core dump, we're a bit more able to investigate. You can either replay
it yourself in gdb (see
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5115613/core-dump-file-analysis) or attach
it and wait for another Arch user to look it up.

What we're interested in is the exact code line in xfce4-session where the
crash occurs.
