This has suddenly started happening to me in 11.04 after changing some session
settings. There were a few things I did that could have led to the problem...
First I changed my GDM settings to log in automatically. Shortly after doing
this I came back to the machine after it had been idle for a
I know this is a relatively old bug, but the problem seems to have
reappeared in the most recent update in 11.04. Xfdesktop seems to load
several times, causing the desktop to flicker in and out. Sometimes,
xfdesktop just crashes and I have to start it again manually. It is not
as severe for me as
Lowering priority, nobody seems to experience it with Xfce 4.8.

I have also found like K_Mux noted above that this happens to me when
related to dual monitor support. I did no upgrades to xfce but rather
switched my video driver. I switched from the open source radeonhd to
open source radeon driver. The radeonhd driver always initialized my

Frustrating is correct. I have a fresh Xubuntu 9.10 install with this
bug. Removing ~/.cache seemed to fail, it worked for a couple of
restarts, then failed again. Have now removed xsplash and am testing to
see how long that will work.

This problem recently appeared on my computer, and I'm pretty sure it was
upgrading xfce4-session from 4.4.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 to 4.6.0-1ubuntu2 that
did it.
This also swapped xfce4-mcs-plugins out for xfce4-settings. xfdesktop4 wasn't
touched.

Hi
Have you tried on a terminal:

and then
rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions
and then
sudo reboot
that worked for me on the computer I was having the problem on, if I
don't miss anything.
Best of luck

Thank you for suggesting some workarounds.
Well, I've logged in on one of the virtual consoles (no X) and deleted
the sessions. That took care of it for very few reboots, but the
problem rapidly came back.
I'm also interested in making sure this is properly fixed. Is there any
more information
I cured the bug for good with that fix on Jaunty, can't see it any more,
it's up to developers now, I'm afraid, you seem to be up-front with
Karmic. Sorry if I can't be of more help unless I came across with it
again on one of my computers...

@Rolf Leggewie
I had the bug crop up every week or so, until I did the following:
a) Do not boot up with external LCD conected.
Connect the LCD after you are on the desktop, and then use xrandr --output
VGA-0 --auto --outout LVDS off followed by xrandr --output LVDS --auto
--left-of VGA-0
I tried removing saved sessions and inadvertently deleted something
which damaged my system.
I did a clean install of Jaunty and the problem has not returned.

By the way, instead of just clicking the exit button, ensure all your
xfcedesktop processes are killed, then go to applications/settings/session and
startup and make sure that automatically save session on logout is
un-selected.
Then, go to a terminal and type #sudo reboot.
That's what I did.
I use ext2 for / and ext3 for /home, so the filesystem does not seem to
be the culprit here.
By the way, over the course of the past months, I have noted that the problem
seems to pop up mostly when I am booting with an external monitor connected to
my netbook.
