Comment 0 for bug 1013548

Often when I trying to logout from Xubuntu/XFCE (using the GUI logout dialog) just nothing happens at first. If I then try to log out once more, I get an error message saying

"Failed to log out. Session manager must be in idle state when requesting a shutdown."

After waiting some 10 seconds or so, I will eventually be logged out. Since XFWM is not started on the next boot/login, I first thought the bug might me somewhere in XFWM, but actually it happens _as well_ when using KWin as window manager. Funnily enough, however, KWin is restarted on restart/re-login.

This bug is somehow described in #978333 as well, but there the authors focus on XFWM not restarting. In contrast, I'm more concerned with the logout being delayed quite some time.
