[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#709522: xfce4: Upgrading from 4.8.3 did not upgrade xfce4-session

[Josep Lladonosa]

Package: xfce4
Version: 4.10.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I made a dist-upgrade having xfce 4.8.3 (from graphical environment,
though),
and xfce4-session did not get upgraded to 4.10.1. Something happened.

In this situation, the Exit button was not working. This was the message in
the window:

method "logout" with signature "bb" on interface "org.xfce.session.manager"
doesn't exist

I guess that some internals have changed.

I could solve the case by doing a:

apt-get install --reinstall xfce4-session


Perhaps if I had upgraded in a text-only environment it would have
run smoothly, but being in X and xfce is very usual when upgrading xfce....
;)
