I'm enjoying using Xubuntu 11.10 but there is a very annoying issue with startup and shutdown. When the computer is shut down, the computer often appears to "freeze" for about 30 seconds and then continues to shut down. On restarting the computer, the Xfce interface always starts without running xfwm4 (no title bars on windows and all windows in upper left corner of screen and immobile). I have to start it manually from a terminal. I have tried some of the suggested remedies (xfwm4 --replace and rm -r ~/.cache/sessions) but none of them fix the problem.
I can "work around" the bug by including xfwm4 in the startup programs but I would prefer a system that worked properly. I am currently investigating whether the issue is triggered by the monitor being blanked after 10 minutes idle (i.e. that the power manager is triggering the bug on my system). Meanwhile, if anyone else has had this issue and found a resolution for it, I would be grateful if you could enlighten me as to the cause.
