Desktop invisible until switch to tty and back
Hi there )
Issue is in the subj )
Elaborating, when I input my creds in lightdm, login dialog disappears, stock Xfce wallpaper appears and that's it. I need to press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get my precious desktop back.
I'm running Debian testing (bullseye) and xfdesktop is 4.14.2-1. I'm through several upgrades of Debian and this issue started relatively recently. It wasn't happening initially. It does not happen for freshly created user.
If I have (my usual) 4 virtual workspaces set in Xfce, these are last log entries in xsession-errors I see when I'm just switched to console:
DBG[xfce-workspace.c:329] xfce_workspace_monitors_changed(): Adding workspace 1 backdrop 0

error: : cannot open
error: : cannot open
__logging_message__15:12:57.927 WARN unknown libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
Internal error: Could not resolve keysym XF86FullScreenAfter I'm back to desktop, some xsession-errors entries added and it looks this:

...These "Internal error: " don't appear after login process, during regular usage of desktop.
For brand new user, even with workspaces widget in his standard panel, no such entries whatsoever and the whole log until logout is (with env vars at the start omitted):

Re: Desktop invisible until switch to tty and back
Hello and welcome.
Internal error: Could not resolve keysym XF86FullScreen
Maybe this bug?
Which video card and driver are you using? Which version of xfwm4?
Does the problem persist if you disable the compositor?

Re: Desktop invisible until switch to tty and back
Doesn't seem directly related, as report mentions these entries are filling up disks. In my case, after I switched back and desktop is fine, no new entries appear in xsession-errors.
I have composite disabled -- Compositor checkbox unchecked in 'Window manager tweaks'. Always was that way.
I use gtx 770 ti, proprietary Nvidia dirver. Steam works fine and games work (e.g., Warhammer II) generally fine.

Re: Desktop invisible until switch to tty and back
To confirm:
For brand new user, even with workspaces widget in his standard panel, no such entries whatsoever and the whole log until logout is (with env vars at the start omitted):
Does this mean that a secondary user on the computer does not see this issue? In other words, is the issue contained just to your main user account?

Re: Desktop invisible until switch to tty and back
Yes.
If I do xfdesktop -Q/-e when logged in, from xfce-terminal, desktop appears normally. Interestingly, output of -e stops in terminal right about the same position as it does when I switch to text console during login sequence:

Re: Desktop invisible until switch to tty and back
Try clearing out your cache. On a fresh boot, before you log in, delete the contents of ~/.cache/sessions. Then log in and see if there is a difference.
