In any case the reason I am posting this is because after the upgrade, I launch xfce4 using startx and all went ok, yet when I am in my desktop and I try assessing the "home" or "filesystem" icons, they just appear to blink and never get launched, is any of you having this issue, I am not sure if this is a software bug that xfce4 is having.

Hi.

I also got into "trouble" after upgrade 7.2 -> 7.3: Starting xfce took a
very long time. I find the following in my .xsession-errors:

** (xfdesktop:43005): WARNING **: org.xfce.Trash.QueryTrash failed: The
name org.xfce.FileManager was not provided by any .service files
...
** (xfce4-menu-plugin:43029): CRITICAL **: Unable to get keyboard/mouse
grab.

** (xfce4-menu-plugin:43029): CRITICAL **: Unable to get keyboard/mouse
grab.

grab.

** (xfce4-menu-plugin:43029): CRITICAL **: Unable to get keyboard/mouse
grab.


I thought, this is because I can't run hald (crashes the machine
instantly) and Thunar complains about not finding hald (saw this, when I
startet xfce via startx on console I think; I can't find it now in the
logs - so not the exact message, sorry).

Maybe, this information can help you (and me ;) with xfce

Ciao,
