Bug Description

I am using Arch Linux with 4.18.0-g8efcf34a2639 Kernel with XFCE4 and xfm4.
Since the reboot after the complete system upgrade yesterday (except for the Kernel) plank does not start anymore.

Output from plank -d:

Had the same issue.
As user Do Quyet (mr.quyetdx) suggested here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/plank/+bug/1811492
adding export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11` in ~/.xinitrc fixed it for me.
I'm using Arch with Kernel 4.20.3
plank 0.11.4.24-0a84Arch
xfce4 4.12.1
