XFCE4-Session doesn't use the ConsoleKit interface to shutdown or reboot

Moving to triaged since upstream bug has been opened

The xfce bug has been signed off as fixed/resolved in git. This should be fixed in xfce 4.8 when released.

It is failing to shutdown for me in Maverick Final candidate. After the alert, it reverts back to gdm.

This is fixed in upstream git master, but the changes are quite intrusive. Incidentally I came across this a while ago in an OEM project, and I created a very small and straightforward patch which ports from hal to ConsoleKit/Upower. It has worked well for several weeks, so I think this would make a fine SRU.

Lionel, please shout if you want me to upload this.

I can't reproduce that, works fine here…

Anyway, feel free to upload your patch if someone else can confirm it's broken on maverick. Thanks.

Pushed to my SRU test PPA at https://launchpad.net/~pitti/+archive/sru-test. Please give it a spin and let me know how it goes. Thanks!

Unassigning myself from natty task, this will be fixed with new upstream updates.

Can anyone please test the maverick update in my PPA? If this is not an important issue after all, we'll keep maverick as it is.

This bug was fixed in the package xfce4-session - 4.7.2-0ubuntu1

Seems this isn't actually a big issue, due to the lack of feedback, so let's drop the maverick task for now.
