I installed a Debian Lenny beta2 recently. For a few days xfce worked as
it should and today it stopped: after logging in (using gdm) only a blue
screen appeared. Right clicking didn't produce a menu.

I looked on the internet and found that this is a known issue related to
dbus, but that it is supposed to be fixed in 4.4.2 which I'm using.

In my case  restarting X.org several times (by ctrl+alt+backspace)
didn't help, just as restarting a computer didn't.

What helped was pressing alt+f2, starting xfce4-panel and saving
session.

Does not sound like a DBUS issue, simply the panel died and you saved
your session w/out the panel running so it's not restored.

Is this explanation consistent with not being able to right click for a
menu? If so, then the bug can be closed for me.

right click is handled by xfdesktop, but the behaviour is consistent
with a broken session (being able to rerun xfce4-panel shows that the WM
and the keyboard shortcuts where working).

What I would suggest then would be to:

1) Check the content of the latest xfce4-session* file from ~/.cache/sessions
2) In doubt, remove the files completely, that will restore the defaults.

Make sure you do this while xfce4-session is not running (ie do this
from the console or from a remote connexion).

Hi,

This bug is 6 years old and an update is necessary. Does the issue still
occur? If so, on what distribution? If using Debian/Xubuntu, can you
please also report to your distribution's maintainers so they can
comment on patches they maintain?

Olivier, is there anything that can be done to make Xfce session more
consistent? I.e. for people who do run a full Xfce session, is there a
way to tell that the panel is missing from a session resume?
