[XFCE4] - Shutdown fails

I’m experiencing a strange issue with my Xfce setup in Yocto Scarthgap. After booting the system and logging into the GUI, the shutdown option does not work on the first click.

On clicking it again for the second time, it throws error
"Failed to run action "Shut Down"
GDBus.Error:org.xfce.SessionManager.Error. Failed: Session manager must be in idle state when requesting a shutdown"

However, if I manually:
- Kill the current xfce4-session.
- Restart the GUI using startxfce4.
The shutdown option works perfectly after that.

This behavior persists across reboots
Any guidance on troubleshooting or resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
