Hi Santiago,

I think I have same problem here. Log in, no window manager, no panel.

** Workaround

I use a different workaround:
* press alt-f2
* the "run program" dialog appears
* move mouse into it to focus it
* type xfwm4, press enter
* you now have a window manager
* press alt-f2 again
* type xfce4-panel

Now you have something to work with.

** Additional information

Variants workarounds are probably possible (what about typing
"xfce4-session" ?).

Another specific information : in my context there is a recorded session
(only Thunderbird, actually), and it is reopened automatically by
session manager. This may help pinpoint the problem.

** Severity

A normal user experiencing this bug is left clueless about what's
happening and has no option to fix. For this reason I would rate this
bug as severe.

(Actually, this happens on my wife's account and make a poor case for
Ubuntu as she came from Mac.)

Reproducible here: sometimes (maybe around 10%-30% of times ? rough
guess).

** Next step

How often is this reproducible on your side ?

Can you try this :
* record some session, then trigger bug and tell if session is restored when 
bug appears

Thank you.
