I'll look at it further but my machine at work is setup the same way to and I don't have to do anything special to exit. I choose Quit from the menu and the confirmation dialog pops up. I choose log out and Xfce and X quit and I'm back at a command prompt. I didn't have to do anything special to get it to work.

True, but further on it explains why you are not able to log out. If there is no DM things work differently.

I have the same set up as you, no DM, no autologin but my menu includes logout, restart and shutdown and they work.

Yes, I did. It doesn't apply to me since I don't want to automatically log in to xfce. I want to log in and start X from a command prompt.

If not you might need to customise your quit command.
Try this: http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/07/13 … n-manager/
Nope, I'm starting from a command prompt with startx

So did you take a look at the tutorial?

Yes, I've got it installed and ps says it's running. So is dbus-lauch if that means anything.
When I run xfce4-session-logout the exact same thing happens, ie nothing.

Any othe thoughts?

This is a strange error, or so it seems to me.

I've just gotten 4.4RC1 completely built and running find. But when I try to exit using the Quit choice on the desktop menu nothing happens. And I do mean nothing. First there is no dialog prompting me, even though I have Prompt on logout checked in Sessions and Startup. Second, and worse, it never quits. As I said everything else is working, so this seems like a strange problem to me. If I want to get back to a command prompt I have to use Ctrl, Alt, Backspace, which means my sessions aren't saving.

Is there a particular package I should rebuild, or is there a way to generate a log that might tell me where it's failing?

Thanks

p.s. 4.4 looks GREAT.
