reassign #402708 xfce4-session retitle #402708 xfce4-session doesn't start without xfce4-session.rc severity #402708 serious thanks,
Current xfce4-session in sid doesn't ship a xfce4-session.rc. It's required for startup, as it ship the Failsafe Session, which is the default one when no session was previously started. xfce4-session doesn't ship the xfce4-session.rc like before (in /etx/xdg/xfce4-session) because this folder has a priority greater then the one shipped with desktop-base. desktop-base ships session and splash files for a default Debian installation, and these should be able to be overriwritten by admins, using files in /etc/xdg/xfce4-session. But now, if an user never started xfce4-session and doesn't have desktop-base installed, start will fail like in your case. A temporary solution is to install desktop-base but it shouldn't be a dependency. Shipping a xfce4-session.rc with only failsafe session in xfce4-session is doable, but there won't be a splash screen. We need a xfce4-session.rc in a folder less important than /usr/share/desktop-base/profiles/xdg-config/, but this would require an upload of libxfce4util4, so it wouldn't reach Etch. I see currently two solutions: * make xfce4-session depend on desktop-base * ship a xfce4-session.rc in /etc/xdg/xfce4-session/ with only failsafe session. Users without desktop-base won't see a splash screen at first start but could configure one later. Both solutions need an upload of xfce4-session and a transition to Etch. Current xfce4-session in testing doesn't have the problem, because it ships a xfce4-session.rc with everything. I make the severity serious because current xfce4-session won't start for freshly installed sid.
