I'm not quite sure how, but I managed to get XFWM4 (current sid version 4.8) to not start with my session (or not to be saved). I don't recall doing anything particular to the window manager settings or desktop session settings. All I know is that I booted the system up and while it had saved my session, the window manager was not loaded.
I started xfwm4 by hand, saved the session, and did a logout/login cycle and it seemed to have stuck. Anyone else seen this issue? Any ideas where a log file may reside to shed some light on what's going on? --Joseph Lenox -- "Nothing unreal exists." - Kiri-kin-tha's First Law of Metaphysics.
