[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#482055: xfce4 does not start automatically after login via xdm

[Carsten Kosthorst]

Package: xfce4
Version: 4.4.2.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Hi,

since last update xfce4 refuses to start after I login via xdm.

To start xfce4, I have to stop xdm and then invoke xfce4 manually from
the console with 'startxfce4'.

I don't know whether it's a problem with xfce4, xdm, xorg or some
other package, so please take my apology if I submitted a bug report for
a wrong package.

Please let me know if you need more information.

   Carsten
