            Bug ID: 11923
           Summary: xfce4-session-logout doesn't show the dialog unlike
                    documented
    Classification: Xfce
           Product: Xfce4-session
           Version: 4.12.0
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General

The manpage of xfce4-session-logout states:
  The  xfce4-session-logout command allows you to programmatically logout
  from your Xfce session. It requests the session manager to display  the
  logout  confirmation  screen,  or,  if  given  one  of the command-line
  options below, causes the session manager to take the requested  action
  immediately.
However, running xfce4-session-logout without an option will logout without
asking for any confirmation if "Prompt on Logout" is disabled in the settings.

A command shouldn't cause xfce to exit if this isn't the documented behaviour.

The behaviour I expect is as documented, that xfce4-session-logout shows the
dialog if no option is set.
Showing the dialog is better because an unconfirmed logout might cause data
loss. In a situation where xfce4-session-logout is assigned to a keybind or
launcher, the user might not expect this behaviour after changing the "Prompt
on Logout" option considering that the logout dialog has other options as well.
A user intending to hybernate might lose data when attempting to run the
dialog.
