2020-04-10 Thread Daniel Richard G.
Autologin is not in use. The only unusual aspect of this login is that it is via xrdp, and because no argument is passed to the initial /etc/X11/Xsession invocation, it uses the default x-session-manager -> gnome-session . If the user logs in via the console, xfce4-session is used instead, masking

Could you try this using lightdm? It's possible that this may be a display-manager issue. I did notice that in a different (customized) configuration of Xubuntu, the user processes still remained after logout, but then killing the "systemd --user" process resulted in the login session ending. Any

I'm not sure that this new title is accurate, as the error condition is brought about specifically by an unusual (albeit legal) way of starting the X session. My scenario involved xrdp, but I could see this happening with an older display manager (xdm?) that does not recognize XDG xsession files.
