Parts of XFCE fail after re-login.

Hi!

I have just installed xfce-4.8 to my ubuntu 11.04
and have found some problems
After I logout and then login back some xfce components just switch off
and some forget it's settings:
1. One of two logins xfwm4 doesn't start and I have to launch it manyally.
2. One of two sessions xfdesktop starts but then switches of in several seconds.
3. Power managment forgets it setting after every relogin
4. From time to time workspaces setting fail and leave me with only one workspace.

The xfce is installed from oficial ubuntu natty repositories.
I have used xfce for many years on gentoo before and like it very much.
It would be nice to solve all this tiny troubles.
Please help.

Petr.

Re: Parts of XFCE fail after re-login.

About xfwm4: Got the same problem, my (temporary) solution was to add xfwm4 to the autostart list (Session & Startup -> Application Autostart)
Your problem concerning workspaces is probably the same as http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=6056
