xfce4 and xorg-7.5

Tue May 4 03:10:18 UTC 2010

Found the identical situation--xfce quits on startup--on a completely 
different computer, a Dell notebook.

These two computers both have a 8-stable from the last two days and 
latest ports.  They both have Radeon boards, an X1650 and an ancient 
built-in FireGL 9000.  If xfce4-session is deinstalled, xfce4 starts 
every time.

I had written earlier that xfce remains running when the dbus error 
doesn't occur.  That's not correct, I've seen it both ways.  The dbus 
error causes xfce4-session and sometimes xfce4-panel to core dump.

An xfce4-session backtrace from the Dell has been added to the 
information at http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/xfce-xorg/ .
