What I am asking about is if something is set up wrong?  The terminal 
(any terminal so far) starts up without a complete environment set up. 
Like a 'bash $' prompt and my personal bashrc and profile are not read. 
To get this setup correctly at the terminal, I has to set the shell to 
be a login shell which forced the reading of the standard setup scripts. 
The more I think about it, the more I think something is goofy and that 
this may be why I have to list the the entire path to programs in the 
panel if they are not in /usr/bin or /bin.

Sure this lets me set keyboard shortcuts, but I didn't find the log out 
command. I think now that it's xfce4-ssession-logout, but not sure.

It turns out I hadn't even build the session manager. Now it's built and 
installed.
