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

[André Miranda]

Hi Igor,
Did this problem start after updating xfce4-session? Which version are you
using?

Unable to launch "./xfsettingsd/xfsettingsd" sounds suspicious, it's like
session is trying to run xfsettingsd from its source folder (relative
path), try clearing saved sessions.

Cheers,
Andre Miranda
