I think I've noticed the same in Xubuntu 14.04 amd64. Immediately after login, hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del to lock the screen, and attempting to log back out again, doesn't do anything until after about a 10 sec delay. I think killing xfsettingsd and running "xfsettingsd --no-daemon &" instead might fix it on the next login, but I might be wrong.
I also notice weird behaviour of my workspace applet. It shows wrong workspace labels for the first 10 or 20 sec, which then magically correct themselves to the correct labels set in the settings. I suspect that's related. Bug #1314782 ( multimedia keys don't work when xfce4-volumed is run in daemon mode) has a promising explanation and a patch for xfce4-volumed that might work, but it apparently hasn't been merged. Not sure if a similar patch could be put together for xfsettingsd. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239014 Title: xfsettingsd unable to daemonize properly when overlay scrollbars are activated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-settings/+bug/1239014/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
