Hello gnath, I just came from bug #778738, which discussed this same issue.
Unfortunately, the libpam-systemd and systemd packages are needed in order to track user sessions and ultimately enable the Xfce log-out dialog to present restart/shutdown/etc. options, even if systemd is not the active init system. Previously, user-session tracking was performed by ConsoleKit, but ConsoleKit is unmaintained and the last release (0.4.6, from summer 2013) advises users to switch to logind, a component of systemd. There does not currently appear to be a suitable user-session framework aside from these two, although with so many people unhappy with the design of systemd I think we'll see some new options before long. Note that having the systemd package installed does not mean that it is the active init system; it is actually the systemd-sysv package that does this. I wish I had a better answer, but that appears to be the current state of things in the Xfce/Debian/Linux world. _______________________________________________ Pkg-utopia-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-utopia-maintainers
