[SOLVED] ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session xfce4-session

[Mike Massonnet]

Hi Folk,

I did some digging on forums and found *the* answer[1] after one hour
of search (the album I was listening to is now over, sigh). Adding
ck-launch-session inside xinitrc is okish, but it is missing simply
dbus-launch. For the ones not having this problem, calling startxfce4
with ck-l-s revived the shutdown/reboot buttons from the logout dialog
(this change has been committed in xfce-utils:master already) but I
and some of you were still unable to mount/unmount with
gvfs-mount/Thunar.

This actually never occurs if you login through GDM, however I don't
want to figure the why and how now :) The solution is simple, within
$prefix/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc the command to execute xfce4-session has
to be changed from this:

  ck-launch-session xfce4-session

to this:

  ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session xfce4-session

A patch for xfce-utils is attached on bug 6690[2].
