            Bug ID: 15680
           Summary: "Do Not Save Session" missing from
                    xfce4-session-logout
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Xfce4-session
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: ToddAndMargo at zoho.com
  Target Milestone: Xfce 4.14

When Xfce 4.13 starts misbehaving and you can not get activate items from Panel
0 with your mouse, you have to log off with the command line.  

Problem (other than the above): `xfce4-session-logout --logout`  "always" saves
your session, so you are forced to go back and log out with the gui several
times before you get everything removed that you do not want to start up
automatically.  This is especially dangerous as if you accidentally run a
second incidence of Osmo as your Osmo database will corrupt.  

And since the GUI already has this feature, it should not be to difficult to
add it to the command line.

Many thanks,
-T

My notes:

How to log out of Xfce from the command line:

$ xfce4-session-logout --logout
