Reopening this bug.


(In reply to Samy Mahmoudi from comment #36)

First of all I'm not an expert about modern desktop practices and while I t=
ry
to do my best to maintain XFCE ports I don't have a full grasp of all the
freedesktop.org standards and tools, like consolekit and the like. I may be
wrong but I can state the following:

SLiM has been unmaintained for years and does not adhere to all the latest
practices, so problems when using it and not applying workarounds can be
expected.=20

Also launching a modern desktop environment from console (or old display
managers) can require special care.

in detail:

>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 p=
revious shell commands...) and my compiz desktop switcher (CTRL+ALT+AN_ARRO=
W_KEY) does not trigger.

Exactly how do you start xfce from console? In such case I think the correct
command is:

startxfce4 --with-ck-launch

This wraps Xorg in consolekit which provides some needed services. Have you
tried this?

Also, being xfwm4 a compositing window manager I'm not sure if using also
compiz at the same time is supported or they could conflict in certain
situations.

Regarding the other facts II admit I have no idea what is happening. I've n=
ever
used autologin.

What is the exact setxkbmap command you are running?

Also, what locale have you setup in your environment? That could be affecti=
ng
things.

I'll followup with the patch to the ports that you can try, but it's a minor
change that, most probably, is not going to affect what you are seeing.
