Incomplete logout

Hi everyone,

I setup my computer with Ubuntu 17.10 minimal version and XFCE4 as only DE. Everything works well, simple, lightweight and fast, except of a small issue. That is, when I want to logout, if I run the command "xfce4-session-logout --logout" or click on the "Logout" button from the session dialog (Menu / Log Out...), I would get the following:

From that, I can simple enter "startx" to get back to the desktop or, "exit" to completely logout from the session (require password to re-login).

As far as my view, that's not a normal process of logging out. How it should be configured to do exactly what it should do - a combination of "xfce4-session-logout --logout" and "exit" session?

Thanks.

Hello and welcome.

Alias startx to "startx && exit".

You're rock. In `.bash_profile`, I added a new line "startx && exit" so it works correctly now. Thank you so much.
