After upgrading to 4.2.1 my panel and menu has changed. I killed the panel, copied a saved setting from 4.2.0. After relogin I've seen the default panel, not my changed one. Seem that xfce4-session doesn't save the settings and on login process opens the default. I've seen what variables are set on login process and that were OK ( XDG_CONFIG_HOME was $HOME/.config/xfce4 ). After commenting out the session start in xinitrc, everything works fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: If you use xfe4-session (and save the current settings): 2. Change something on panel 3. Logout 4. Login again Actual Results: The default settings are on the panel. GTK+: 2.6.4 Xfce 4.2.1 OS: Frugalware -current
It's not xfce4-session's fault, it's a bug in the panel in 4.2.1. Upgrade to 4.2.1.1 to get rid of the problem.
