Re: Xfce with the .xinitrc file

Hello,

Sorry for this silly question, but is consolekit installed ?

Additionally, how do you start your X session ? Using a login manager
(xenodm ?), or from the console using `startx` ?

The script below requires the variable `XFCE4_SESSION_WITH_CK` is set to
`1` to run the session through consolekit. If you use `startx`, could
you try to `export XFCE4_SESSION_WITH_CK=1` ?

Regards.

Christophe
