Logout / Save Session (again)...

[M. Glenn Lewis]

After doing an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade most of my Xfce4 
installation was upgraded but I am still unable to logout and / or save a 
session.

I am finding it hard to believe that it is this difficult to do such a 
simple thing, especially since I hear everyone else talking about it as if 
it was something that just works.

I am in Xfce4 right now (after upgrading my system) and I will include a 
printout of pstree below for anyone interested.

As can be seen from the pstree printout, I have xfce4-session running (along 
with all of the other normal xfce4 programs) and I started the Xfce4 
environment from the gdm login screen. Since all of this works without 
error I am left to assume that I have the software installed correctly but 
I still have no logout / save session option. The system button that exits 
does only that and does not prompt for confirmation nor does it ask me if I 
want to save the current session.

Maybe someone who has these options available to them can tell me what their 
system looks like and how it behaves so that I can have something to 
compare to.

If this is the wrong list on which to ask this question please let me know 
where I might find someone more knowledgeable concerning this subject.

Thanks in advance.
