--- Comment #36 from Samy Mahmoudi <samy.mahmoudi@gmail.com> ---
By trial and error I have noticed some things that might be interesting.

Context:
libxfce4menu-4.14.1_1
12.1-RELEASE-p5 amd64

FACT 1: Starting xfce4 from vt, the up arrow key is not correctly mapped
(pressing the key makes the xfce4-terminal cursor blinks but does not show
previous shell commands...) and my compiz desktop switcher
(CTRL+ALT+AN_ARROW_KEY) does not trigger.

FACT 2: When using SLiM autologin or lightdm autologin: same faulty behavio=
r.

FACT 3:
- When manually setting my SLiM session to "Xfce Session" (by pressing F1 at
the SLiM login screen): not problem at all after the start.

- When using SLiM "default" session (which I have mapped to startxfce4 in my
.xinitrc) by NOT pressing F1 at the SLiM login screen: no problem at all af=
ter
the start.

- When using the lightdm login screen: no problem at all after the start.

FACT 4: Adding a setxkbmap command at the beginning of my .xinitrc works ar=
ound
the SLiM autologin but not the lightdm autologin.

My understanding is that the underlying problem is not resolved, despite
revision 531554, so I am quite comforted by comment 35. That's why I wrote
comment 34, in the hope of testing your first reworked patch.

FACTS 3 and 4 may just reveal variants of the same workaround. Moreover, th=
ese
workarounds may not be sustainable during the whole session lifetime. Now I
will rather test the rereworked patch ;-)
