xfce4-panel shows a pile of overlapping pop-ups "unexpectedly left the panel" every other time I log in to X
Hi!
I'm a happy user of XFCE, thanks for making XFCE and sharing it as Open Source!
When I log into X about every second time, xfce4-panel shows a pile of overlapping pop-ups saying "Plugin [..] unexpectedly left the panel" — screenshot below — that force me to either
- click "Execute" multiple times or
- do "pkill -9 xfce4-panel && xfce4-panel &" on a terminal.
If that could be solved, that would be fantastic.
For potential causes I can think of:
- use of some de-facto dependency before its available,
- use of a non-monotonic clock and NTP/clock updates hitting at the same time, and/or
- some other race condition.
Thanks and best
Sebastian
