Bug #: 8324
Summary: make sure a minimal session is always active
Classification: Xfce
Product: Xfce4-session
Version: 4.8.2
Platform: PC (x86_64)
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Medium
Component: General

Hey,
I have some recent reports from Debian users, on Xfce 4.8, which end up with a
broken session where a lot of Xfce components weren't running, including xfwm4.
It's not really clear what happened (or even that the same thing happened
everytime), but in the end they managed to get a session cache with only
xfce4-session running, more or less (maybe xfwm4 crashed and the session still
got saved, not sure)
xfce4-session shouldn't make assumptions on what the user wants or does not
want to use, so it should respect what's in the session cache, but at some
point, it'd be nice if it could make sure the final session is usable.
Would it be possible to check, when the desktop has completed init, if the
mandatory components are present? Right now, the only mandatory one for me is a
window manager (wether xfwm4 or anything else), but there might be others. If
there's no window manager running, then maybe it makes sense to run xfwm4 just
in case: what are the chances that a user would like to not use a window
manager and still use xfce4-session?
What do you think?
