Doing a "grep -i -3 "unhandled keyboard shortcut" gives:

(xfce4-panel:4930): xfce4-panel-WARNING **: Internal plugins need the
"X-XFCE-Module-Path" entry to work properly.

(xfce4-panel:4930): xfce4-panel-WARNING **: Failed to create plugin "minicmd"

** (xfwm4:4923): WARNING **: Unhandled keyboard shortcut

(xfce4-cpugraph-plugin:4951): Gtk-CRITICAL **:

(container)' failed
Initializing tracker-store...
Tracker-Message: Checking XDG_DATA_HOME is writable and exists
Tracker-Message:   XDG_DATA_HOME is '(null)'

The session is nothing special that I know of - I have 5 desktops, but
I've had that all along.

I've attached the output of ps aux
