two xfces loading

[Liviu Andronic]

Dear all,
Since yesterday I have this bizzarre issue of two (or three) instances
of Xfce loading at start-up. After the start-up is complete, visually
it can be hard to say that there is an issue, since the panels are
stacked onto each other. However, the start-up process seems very
erratic, as if Xfce started-restarted its panel for several times.
Also clipman 1.0.1 issues warnings of lost selection, and of another
clipboard manager running. When I check top, I have the panel and
associated plug-ins doubled (see attached info from top). Xfce can be
restored to normal by killing one of the xfce panels, but the process
is again erratic, with starts-restarts before xfce decides to settle
for one instance only.
Unfortunately I cannot think of a specific important change I've done
to Xfce lately, other perhaps than removing xfce4-dict from the panel,
and reinstalling various versions of clipman.
Could anyone suggest how to debug/solve this issue? Thank you
Liviu

Regarding this issue, I also got hit by hit when I restarted the panel not
always however. I'm gonna change this in the coming release. There will be an
optional daemon instead.

Regarding the double apps launched, I had suggest that you clean up your
session. The best is to log off and wipe ~/.cache/sessions. Also check that
~/.config/autostart doesn't start applications you do not wish (that latter is
available in Xfce Menu > Settings > Autostarted applications).
