I have a working desktop with XFCE. I use multiple X session without any problem. I have added a new session and now XFCE do not work in it. I have exec startxfce4 in .xinitrc and I start it via startx or xinit -- :3 The desktop is near working but it miss close/minimize buttons and overlapping windows flicker. Some debug lead to a missing xfwm4 When starting at hand xfwm4, it segfaults [11934679.570070] xfwm4[23147]: segfault at 7ffc058c1d08 ip 000056430724aece sp 00007ffc058c1d10 error 6 in xfwm4[564307216000+40000] likely on CPU 5 (core 6, socket 0) [11934679.570085] Code: 02 00 48 81 ec a8 0f 00 00 48 89 fb 48 8d ac 24 f0 01 00 00 48 89 ef 64 48 8b 04 25 28 00 00 00 48 89 84 24 98 0f 00 00 31 c0 <e8> 0d bf fc ff 48 89 ea 48 8d 35 2f 37 01 00 48 8d 3d 39 37 01 00 [11934713.693694] xfwm4[23339]: segfault at 7ffc5a763ff0 ip 00007f9cc9e3c7ca sp 00007ffc5a763ff0 error 6 in libc.so.6[7f9cc9dcc000+150000] likely on CPU 9 (core 4, socket 0) [11934713.693704] Code: 03 00 00 4c 8b 35 ee 75 13 00 48 8d 43 ef 45 31 c9 48 c1 e8 04 64 49 83 3e 00 49 89 c3 74 0b 48 3b 05 02 7c 13 00 4c 0f 42 cb <48> c7 04 24 00 00 00 00 4c 8d 7d 60 4d 89 e0 44 89 6c 24 08 48 8b [11934765.294545] xfwm4[23560]: segfault at 7fff9ba0cf00 ip 00007f258b9ca481 sp 00007fff9ba0cef0 error 6 in libglib-2.0.so.0.7600.4[7f258b937000+9a000] likely on CPU 6 (core 0, socket 0) [11934765.294554] Code: 48 8d 35 c2 0f 07 00 48 8d 3d a9 6b 00 00 e8 56 3a fb ff 31 c0 5b c3 66 90 41 57 41 56 41 55 41 54 55 53 48 81 ec 38 04 00 00 <48> 89 7c 24 10 64 48 8b 04 25 28 00 00 00 48 89 84 24 28 04 00 00 [11935237.063389] xfwm4[17407]: segfault at 7fffb4a1df70 ip 00007f134cb1fc06 sp 00007fffb4a1df70 error 6 in libc.so.6[7f134ca96000+150000] likely on CPU 3 (core 4, socket 0) [11935237.063400] Code: 28 00 00 00 48 89 84 24 08 01 00 00 31 c0 0f b6 06 84 c0 0f 84 0b 01 00 00 80 7e 01 00 0f 84 31 01 00 00 66 0f ef c0 48 89 e2 <0f> 29 04 24 0f 29 44 24 10 0f 29 44 24 20 0f 29 44 24 30 0f 29 44 [11935254.853882] xfwm4[17427]: segfault at 7ffe821bcd88 ip 0000560343fd9ece sp 00007ffe821bcd90 error 6 in xfwm4[560343fa5000+40000] likely on CPU 11 (core 6, socket 0) [11935254.853891] Code: 02 00 48 81 ec a8 0f 00 00 48 89 fb 48 8d ac 24 f0 01 00 00 48 89 ef 64 48 8b 04 25 28 00 00 00 48 89 84 24 98 0f 00 00 31 c0 <e8> 0d bf fc ff 48 89 ea 48 8d 35 2f 37 01 00 48 8d 3d 39 37 01 00 [11935262.282622] xfwm4[17446]: segfault at 7ffef3415ff8 ip 00007fb67a34a578 sp 00007ffef3416000 error 6 in libc.so.6[7fb67a2da000+150000] likely on CPU 11 (core 6, socket 0) [11935262.282634] Code: 3d 5d 13 10 00 e8 48 ec f9 ff 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 48 85 f6 0f 88 ef 05 00 00 41 57 41 56 41 55 41 54 49 89 f4 55 48 89 fd <53> 48 8d 5e 17 48 83 ec 28 48 83 fb 1f 0f 86 cd 03 00 00 48 83 e3 [11935345.954127] xfwm4[23738]: segfault at 7ffd91d23ff8 ip 00007f15826ff56f sp 00007ffd91d24000 error 6 in libc.so.6[7f158268f000+150000] likely on CPU 9 (core 4, socket 0) [11935345.954137] Code: 48 8d 35 28 bc 0f 00 48 8d 3d 5d 13 10 00 e8 48 ec f9 ff 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 48 85 f6 0f 88 ef 05 00 00 41 57 41 56 41 55 <41> 54 49 89 f4 55 48 89 fd 53 48 8d 5e 17 48 83 ec 28 48 83 fb 1f [11935372.124848] xfwm4[23780]: segfault at 7fffcd2dafe0 ip 00007fa918363c06 sp 00007fffcd2dafe0 error 6 in libc.so.6[7fa9182da000+150000] likely on CPU 6 (core 0, socket 0) [11935372.124859] Code: 28 00 00 00 48 89 84 24 08 01 00 00 31 c0 0f b6 06 84 c0 0f 84 0b 01 00 00 80 7e 01 00 0f 84 31 01 00 00 66 0f ef c0 48 89 e2 <0f> 29 04 24 0f 29 44 24 10 0f 29 44 24 20 0f 29 44 24 30 0f 29 44 [11935390.184296] xfwm4[24031]: segfault at 7ffcd4e8ce00 ip 00007fb8db286481 sp 00007ffcd4e8cdf0 error 6 in libglib-2.0.so.0.7600.4[7fb8db1f3000+9a000] likely on CPU 9 (core 4, socket 0) [11935390.184305] Code: 48 8d 35 c2 0f 07 00 48 8d 3d a9 6b 00 00 e8 56 3a fb ff 31 c0 5b c3 66 90 41 57 41 56 41 55 41 54 55 53 48 81 ec 38 04 00 00 <48> 89 7c 24 10 64 48 8b 04 25 28 00 00 00 48 89 84 24 28 04 00 00 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a new user 2. start a second X session 3.

Hi, Maybe related : https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1165803.html Upstream bug : https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfconf/-/issues/35 You should try to upgrade xfce-base/xfconf to 4.18.3 to see if it fix the problem.
Upgrading to xfce-base/xfconf-4.18.3 fixed the problem. Thanks
