Description of problem: When I restart xfce, the appication that were open during the previous session are actually restored. But the windows of all these applications have no title bar (and therefore not relevant icons) and have no border. It is impossible to resize. Note: When the mouse pointer is located on a portion of the desktop, the hourglass is running. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Logout keeping applications on the desktop. 2. Login Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
I don't have a fix for this, but there's a workaround: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-866963-start-0.html - Launch xfce4-session-settings, go to "Application Autostart" - Click Add, give it a name and put this in the command box: xfwm4 --replace that's it, when you save the session, this will _force_ the xfce4 window manager to be started.
Source RPM: (none) => xfwm4
BTW, using this workaround, xfwm4 may get launched when you log into DE's other than XFCE4 too. To make only start in XFCE4: echo OnlyShowIn=XFCE >> ~/.config/autostart/<file-name>.desktop the <file-name> is whatever the name you used when using xfce4-session-settings.

I made the change on mageia and on cauldron. For both, the default is corrected. Solution, even temporary, would be to patch the /etc/xdg/autostart, to get the fix automatically. There are still some correction to Xfce, but I think it's best to create a report for each.
The best thing to do is to file a bug report upstream at https://bugzilla.xfce.org/

I only have offices icewm and Xfce. Therefore, I do not need this latest patch.
The problem seems the same as the bug https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7687 I made my request.
Not yet solved upstream
Keywords: (none) => UPSTREAMCC: (none) => marja11
Still no news in the upstream bug report I suppose the bug is still there in updated cauldron with xfce4-session-4.8.2-2.mga2
CC: (none) => jani.valimaaSummary: Problem with Session Restore => Problem with XFCE4 Session RestoreSource RPM: xfwm4 => xfce4-session
Now that lxdm can connect properly, I return the tests xfce. Indeed, the windows are properly restored, even for applications called "legacy".
