Bug ID: 11964
Summary: Use exec to launch xfce4-session from xinitrc
Classification: Xfce

Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW

Possible fix
Xfce's xinitrc launches xfce4-session as a simple command. This means that the
shell process executing xinitrc will stay running and wait for xfce4-session to
complete, even though it has nothing more to do.
"exec xfce4-session" can be used instead to replace the shell process instead
of creating a new one, thus saving memory.
Side note: the xinitrc script might benefit from "set -e" in the beginning
(will not ignore errors).
