It is easy:
Open in your home ".config/xfce4/xconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml" with mousepad/geany/any-editor.
Insert INSIDE the channel "xfce4-session" the missing settings.

I have the same question as CCC, concerning Logout button - how to disable it? Or, alternatively, how to shutdown the computer after logout?
I start xfce manually - by startxfce4 command.

Since the port to Xfconf the setting is configurable through the xfconf-query command line or xfce4-settings-editor.

xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /shutdown/ShowSuspend

If this command doesn't print the current value you can create it with:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /shutdown/ShowSuspend --create --set false --type bool

If the value already existe, omit the --create and --type parameters.

Same works for ShowHibernate.

Hi!!
I am using puppy linux with xfce. And I would like to change the appearance of the logout window-like change the icons for example or add some extra one. Is it possible? Is there any script that I could manipulate or something like that?

hmmm, I use Gentoo myself and was discussing this very issue earlier with one of the gentoo package maintainers for Xfce. I'd been using svn/trunk since 4.2, just recently did I install all the official portage stuff so I'm haven't seen this issue personally but have seen alot of people mention it here, on the gentoo forums and in irc.

All of the channel/properties missing seem to be misc ones, I'm not sure if xfconf creates all the channels or each individual component is responsible for its own. I'll investigate and report back.

Theres a incomplete list of channels etc @ http://wiki.xfce.org/settings4.6 though, as requested

I have since logged out and back in, and no-longer have the output in a terminal, but when I first saw the xfconf-query command, I listed it's --help then issued:

xfconf-query --list -c xfce4-session

Before and after adding the /shutdown properties. The before listing did not show them.

I'm running Gentoo, upgraded xfce from 4.4... to 4.6.1. Both xfconf and xfce4-session are version 4.6.1.

Thanks,
Les

huh, should have already existed. either when xfconf was installed, or xfce4-session.

I can see the setting in there now, but the command shown above created those properties. I wonder what other goodies are customizable if I only knew the property could be added.

Most of the properties are pretty self explanatory, you can poke over all of them with the Settings Editor (Settings-> Settings Editor).

Thanks Wapush; I registered here to ask the same question, but did not turn up anything searching for disabling the hibernate / suspend in the logout menu, and ran across this thread while reading through the other postings.

Is there any documentation on what the various properties and channels settings do?

Thanks,
Les

It's possible to add a "Switch user" feature thats works with XDM and not depends of any gnome package?

It's possible to have the "Switch user" feature, but you need GDM and fast-user-switch-applet, but it depends of a lot of gnome packages. I don't want anything of gnome. I want a clean XFCE.

peratu@fujitsu ~ $ emerge --pretend fast-user-switch-applet

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Another solution would be to change the autofocused button from logout to shutdown, i am looking for how to do that.
