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"?

What I meant is that it won't give you a correct Xfce environment.

You're free to do whatever you want on your box. I just meant that it's not
something we'll do at the packaging level, for good reasons.
`startxfce4' works just fine for everyone but you, so there's definitely
something fishy on your box, and fixing it that way is not the best way to do
it, but if it's OK for you then just go ahead.
In any case, I'm closing this since you're not actually reporting a bug.
