> I don't have a full grasp of all the freedesktop.org standards and tools, like consolekit and the like.
I was struggling with ConsoleKit before landing to this PR...

> Exactly how do you start xfce from console?
I use a mere startx, together with my .xinitrc:

#!/bin/sh
# SLiM now starts Consolekit
# Xfce now starts DBus

# Temporary workaround
# setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout fr,ru -option
grp:alt_space_toggle,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

DB="dbus-launch --exit-with-session"
CK="ck-launch-session"

case $1 in
   slim-autologin)
   # Separates SLiM autologin from vt launch.
   # Requires patching SLiM, or SLiM autologin default to *) below !
      exec startxfce4
      ;;
   default)
   # SLiM default session (To set a system-wide default session, override
"default" in slim.conf).
      exec startxfce4
      ;;
   startxfce4)
      exec startxfce4
      ;;
   mate-session)
      exec ${DB} mate-session
      ;;
   lxde)
      exec ${DB} startlxde
      ;;
   kodi-standalone)
      exec kodi-standalone
      ;;
   *)
      # exec ${CK} ${DB} openbox-session 
      exec startxfce4 --with-ck-launch
      ;;
esac

> In such case I think the correct command is: startxfce4 --with-ck-launch
You are absolutely right, that is the way to start Xfce from the virtual
consoles (and that is basically what is done when I run startx).

> Also, being xfwm4 a compositing window manager
I have heard about xfwm4 using Xpresent and being an OpenGL compositor in a
mate pull request, inspiring mate guys ;-)

> I'm not sure if using also compiz at the same time is supported or they could conflict in certain situations.
I have replaced xfwm4 with compiz for years (by overriding xfce4-session.xml).
So far so good!

> What is the exact setxkbmap command you are running?
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout fr,ru -option
grp:alt_space_toggle,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

> Also, what locale have you setup in your environment? That could be affecting things.
I have written a French login class in login.conf to have LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 in
my environment. I will investigate further on this particular aspect.
