Hello ,

on Devuan 6 with XFCE4 (standard desktop)
notice that sometimes there is the error:

GDBus.Error:org.xfce.SessionManager.Error.Failed: Session Manager must be indle state when requesting a shutdown.

This might be an error, since then i cannot seem to logout-shutdown properly from GUI.

Thank you very much.
