I'm running Xfce with LXDM and it works smoothly even with the new gnome version - tho the only packages from the gnome-group I have installed are those: narve ~ % pacman -Qg gnome [20:38:45 on 13-04-22] gnome gnome-icon-theme gnome gnome-icon-theme-symbolic gnome xdg-user-dirs-gtk Two of those are even dependencies for xfce4-settings, so they kinda "belong to the suite".. So it's either some breakage caused by other gnome packages or something completely different. Narve

The solution is: mount it to an empty folder. eg: ~/Desktop $ mkdir tc-volume ~/Desktop $ truecrypt --mount /path/to/file ~/Desktop/tc-volume

You might find a level where this output is omitted. I personally just went to booting "quiet" after I finished testing systemd for my systems. mfg narve after my initial testing of systemd was finished.
