I am not sure whether this is the right group to post this
message. But the issue does happen after a Gentoo @world update.
After login into console, 'startx' will launch Xfce4
desktop. Everything works like a charm.
A few days ago:
1) @world update;
2) reinstall Emacs (USE="gtkgtk3") to USE="athena Xaw3d -gtk
-gtk3".
If I logout or shutdown through Xfce4 panel "Shutdown" or "Log
Out", xfce "Shutdown" or "Lot Out" will be delayed for almost 2
minutes. During this period, Xfce4 desktop stands still and do
nothing.
When I click 'Shutdown" or "Log Out" again, an error message pops
up:
Failed to run action "Shut Down"
Session manager must be in idle state when requesting a
shutdown
Interestingly, this issue usually is accompanied with Emacs daemon
editing. If I does not lanuch Emacs daemon to edit file (no daemon
process in the whole login session), Xfce4 shutdown or logout
normally without delay.
Googled around and a few posts suggest 'rm
~/.cache/session/xfce4*'. But still does NOT solve
my problem.
