The developer in the Xfce Bugzilla
(http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4805) says that this should
not be dealt with as a problem in xfce-session. He suggests it's rather
a problem of either the power manager or the panel / the panel applets.

Power Manager: 
I have discovered that my Xubuntu Jaunty shipped with the gnome-power-manager 
instead of the xfce4-power-manager. Now I've installed the latter and 
uninstalled the former, which produces the following weird behaviour: 
a) If I suspend or hibernate from the Xfce menu or from the panel applet 
"action buttons", the systems resumes /without/ any password prompt. 
b) If I suspend or hibernate from the context menu of the xfce4-power-manager, 
I get a locked screen after resuming. 

Desirable/correct behaviour: 
On a system where automatic login has not been activate (which is my case), b) 
is clearly the correct (i.e. safe) behaviour. However, people who have 
activated automatic login will want a).
Of course the user can also be given the choice to change this, but it should 
definitely be the default behaviour.

Conclusions (questions): 
* Should the choice to ship Xubuntu with the gnome-power-manager be 
reconsidered?
* Should this bug be reassigned one or more other packages? 
(xfce4-power-manager? xubuntu? gnome-power-manager? xfce4-panel?)
