When I log in, XFCE freezes except the cursor. It also happens after exiting a game and sometimes just randomly. Switching TTY and back fixes it. Using nvidia drivers.
Quoting https://docs.xfce.org/contribute/bugs/start#report > If you have not found anything or missed it, report it in the bug tracker. > Reports that only say 'application X crashed' will be closed as invalid quickly, so try > to provide a way to describe and reproduce the problem: Application X crashed when doing Y. > In the description provide a short way to reproduce the crash. Also run the application > in a terminal and look if there are console warnings, put those in the bug as well. So, please provide more info, by your (very brief) description, it could be anything, hard to tell if it's a problem in xfwm4 or any other Xfce component. Look for evidences in journalctl (if you distribution uses systemd), .xsession-errors or dmesg.
Can you please provide the output of “xfwm4 --version” and also indicate if you have the compositor enabled? If the compositor is enabled, you may want to try to disable it and report back.
