Xfce... slow... to start...

[Igor Zakharov]

Hello all,

Xfce is starting very slowly for me since recently: it takes like 2 or 3 minutes for the desktop to appear after I've entered my password in lightdm.

There is a whole load of similar messages in .xsession-errors file.
Looks like xfce4-session is waiting for something ?
