--- Comment #36 from Samy Mahmoudi <samy.mahmo...@gmail.com> ---
By trial and error I have noticed some things that might be interesting.

Context:
libxfce4menu-4.14.1_1
12.1-RELEASE-p5 amd64

FACT 1: Starting xfce4 from vt, the up arrow key is not correctly mapped
(pressing the key makes the xfce4-terminal cursor blinks but does not show
previous shell commands...) and my compiz desktop switcher
(CTRL+ALT+AN_ARROW_KEY) does not trigger.

FACT 2: When using SLiM autologin or lightdm autologin: same faulty behavior.

FACT 3:
- When manually setting my SLiM session to "Xfce Session" (by pressing F1 at
the SLiM login screen): not problem at all after the start.

- When using SLiM "default" session (which I have mapped to startxfce4 in my
.xinitrc) by NOT pressing F1 at the SLiM login screen: no problem at all after
the start.

- When using the lightdm login screen: no problem at all after the start.

FACT 4: Adding a setxkbmap command at the beginning of my .xinitrc works around
the SLiM autologin but not the lightdm autologin.

My understanding is that the underlying problem is not resolved, despite
revision 531554, so I am quite comforted by comment 35. That's why I wrote
comment 34, in the hope of testing your first reworked patch.

FACTS 3 and 4 may just reveal variants of the same workaround. Moreover, these
workarounds may not be sustainable during the whole session lifetime. Now I
will rather test the rereworked patch ;-)
