Jean-S=C3=A9bastien P=C3=A9dron:
> What is the status of this? Is the solution proposed by Mikhail working f=
or

Olivier Duchateau:
> In work in progress Xfce's FAQ [1], [2], there's solution (workaround, qu=
estion
> #2) if someone wants to use Xdm with Xfce.

> I won't patch xinitrc, because it breaks session and other applications
> targeted 4.11. Xfce works fine with polkit, (even sysutils/polkit is not =
good

it's not

Olivier Duchateau:
> Yes, I'm talking about /usr/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc file. Xdm needs t=
his

TF-8

Olivier Duchateau:
> Re-assign to the Xfce team
