[SOLVED] (xfce) fails to logout: session manager must be in idle state ..

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.

https://ibb.co/LzZHCTs2

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

Thank you very much.

Re: [SOLVED] (xfce) fails to logout: session manager must be in idle state ..

it is somewhat solved by shutting "thunderbird", afterwards it closed the session immeditaely and shutdown correctly.

not sure what to make of it, it seems the email program inhibiting shutdown command.
