xfce + slim - session problems

[bartosz.polanczyk]

Hello all,
I installed Ubuntu Server with xfce and slim from official repos and I have problem with maintaining session - to be precise, when xfce is starting, for some reason it overrides session settings resulting in inability to shutdown or reboot computer and to mount devices. What is most suprising, if i click on shutdown button on xfce upper panel during its startup, I am able to see shutdown menu with all options available (and - suprisingly - they are working), but after a few more seconds (after desktop icons show up), I am unable to do so again (reboot and shutdown icons greyed out). My user is in correct groups (powerdev and plugdev). I was unable to find good solution so far...

Those are my config files:

/etc/slim.conf:

# Path, X server and arguments (if needed)# Note: -xauth $authfile is automatically appended
default_path        /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
default_xserver     /usr/bin/X11/X
xserver_arguments   -nolisten tcp


# Commands for halt, login, etc.
halt_cmd            /sbin/shutdown -h now
reboot_cmd          /sbin/shutdown -r now
console_cmd         /usr/bin/xterm -C -fg white -bg black +sb -T "Console login" -e /bin/sh -c "/bin/cat /etc/issue.net; exec /bin/login"
#suspend_cmd        /usr/sbin/suspend


# Full path to the xauth binary
xauth_path         /usr/bin/X11/xauth


# Xauth file for server
authfile           /var/run/slim.auth




# Activate numlock when slim starts. Valid values: on|off
# numlock             on


# Hide the mouse cursor (note: does not work with some WMs).
# Valid values: true|false
# hidecursor          false


# This command is executed after a succesful login.
# you can place the %session and %theme variables
# to handle launching of specific commands in .xinitrc
# depending of chosen session and slim theme
#
# NOTE: if your system does not have bash you need
# to adjust the command according to your preferred shell,
# i.e. for freebsd use:
login_cmd           exec /bin/sh - ~/.xinitrc %session
#login_cmd    exec ck-launch-session /bin/bash -login /etc/X11/Xsession %session
#login_cmd    exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session




# Commands executed when starting and exiting a session.
# They can be used for registering a X11 session with
# sessreg. You can use the %user variable
#
# sessionstart_cmd    some command
# sessionstop_cmd    some command


# Start in daemon mode. Valid values: yes | no
# Note that this can be overriden by the command line
# options "-d" and "-nodaemon"
daemon    yes


# Available sessions (first one is the default).
# The current chosen session name is replaced in the login_cmd
# above, so your login command can handle different sessions.
# see the xinitrc.sample file shipped with slim sources
sessions            default,startxfce4,openbox,ion3,icewm,wmaker,blackbox,awesome


# Executed when pressing F11 (requires imagemagick)
screenshot_cmd      scrot /root/slim.png


# welcome message. Available variables: %host, %domain
welcome_msg         Welcome to %host


# Session message. Prepended to the session name when pressing F1
# session_msg         Session: 


# shutdown / reboot messages
shutdown_msg       The system is halting...
reboot_msg         The system is rebooting...


# default user, leave blank or remove this line
# for avoid pre-loading the username.
#default_user        simone


# Focus the password field on start when default_user is set
# Set to "yes" to enable this feature
#focus_password      no


# Automatically login the default user (without entering
# the password. Set to "yes" to enable this feature

*bump*

I'd like to add that this error is probably caused by some application starting with xfce desktop. Could anyone provide me with a way to track/disable such application?
