When logging in via slim with xfce-base/xfce4-session installed and using an external monitor, X segfaults and kicks me back out to slim. Logging in first then plugging the monitor works. Removing xfce4-session avoids the problem altogether. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install xfce-base/xfce4-meta with USE="session" (pulls in xfce-base/xfce4-session) and x11-misc/slim 2. Set XSESSION="Xfce4" and DISPLAYMANAGER="slim" 3. /etc/init.d/xdm start 4. Enter login credentials Actual Results: X segfaults, and I get kicked back to slim Expected Results: Should be logged into xfce4. grep xfce /var/log/messages May 21 09:15:32 gentoo-eee kernel: [

Created attachment 312523 [details] /var/log/slim.log after a crash
(In reply to comment #0) > 1. Install xfce-base/xfce4-meta with USE="session" (pulls in > xfce-base/xfce4-session) and x11-misc/slim Current stable =xfce-base/xfce4-meta-4.10 doesn't have USE="session" anymore and xfce4-session gets always installed. Test with current stable, it's not worth continuing with this bug before. Xfce 4.8 is subject to be removed from Portage in favour of 4.10.
Problem persists with =xfce-base/xfce-meta-4.10.0 and =xfce-base/xfce-session-4.10.0 - same errors in slim.log and /var/log/messages. But now that session is mandatory, removing xfce-session makes login fail completely - slim reports "Failed to execute login command".
I have my laptop screen broken, so I use an external monitor (via HDMI) connected, and I use xfce4 without problems. I run slim also. I am on ~amd64 by the way, and I can't reproduce what you say. If needed, lead me which relevant files to post and I will do.
P.S. I use nvidia-drivers, if relevant
I use KDE now, so I don't know if this bug still exists. I was using Intel drivers and VGA cable at the time.
