Reopening this bug.
(In reply to Samy Mahmoudi from comment #36)
First of all I'm not an expert about modern desktop practices and while I try
to do my best to maintain XFCE ports I don't have a full grasp of all the
freedesktop.org standards and tools, like consolekit and the like. I may be
wrong but I can state the following:
SLiM has been unmaintained for years and does not adhere to all the latest
practices, so problems when using it and not applying workarounds can be
expected.
Also launching a modern desktop environment from console (or old display
managers) can require special care.
in detail:
>FACT 1: Starting xfce4 from vt, the up arrow key is not correctly mapped
>(pressing the key makes the xfce4-terminal cursor blinks but does not show
>previous shell commands...) and my compiz desktop switcher
>(CTRL+ALT+AN_ARROW_KEY) does not trigger.
Exactly how do you start xfce from console? In such case I think the correct
command is:
startxfce4 --with-ck-launch
This wraps Xorg in consolekit which provides some needed services. Have you
tried this?
Also, being xfwm4 a compositing window manager I'm not sure if using also
compiz at the same time is supported or they could conflict in certain
situations.
Regarding the other facts II admit I have no idea what is happening. I've never
used autologin.
What is the exact setxkbmap command you are running?
Also, what locale have you setup in your environment? That could be affecting
things.
I'll followup with the patch to the ports that you can try, but it's a minor
change that, most probably, is not going to affect what you are seeing.
