[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#867221: xfce4-session: /xfce.desktop should point to xfce4-session
Package: xfce4-session
Version: 4.12.1-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
/usr/share/xsessions/xfce.session contains "Exec=startxfce4"
On my system, this fails to start an XFCE session with the error message
"/usr/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on" (common error on the web)
Indeed, starting X is handled by the DM itself, not by XFCE (lightdm in my
case).
I've changed it to "Exec=xfce4-session" and it works perfectly now.
What about changing "Exec=startxfce4" by "Exec=xfce4-session"?
