Package: xfce4-utils
Version: 4.6.0-2
Severity: wishlist
With the new consolekit/policykit method of doing things, starting an xfce4
session using startxfce4 from a text terminal will cause the user to lose
hal/dbus functionality such as suspend/hibernate, mounting of removable
media, access to pulseaudio devices, etc.
The startx script in the xinit package, however, works fine (provided the
user does not have libpam-ck-connector installed, see bug # 526006 at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=526006) since it sources
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/90consolekit, which handles launching the X session
using ck-launch-session as required.
However, I have noticed some differences between starting xfce4 with startx
vs. starting it with startxfce4, most notable of which is that the font
chosen in the User Interface Preferences seems to be ignored. I assume this
is the result (directly or indirectly) of the fact that startxfce4 sets
assorted shell variables via /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc that startx does not.
The cleanest way around this issue that I could find is to start the X
session with:
startx /usr/bin/startxfce4
Until/unless startxfce4 is adapted to use ck-launch-session, perhaps this
could be documented somewhere obvious?

Thanks, closing then.
