Description

Created attachment 8081 the config file

When auto login, the desktop is stay black, and only the mouse seems working (can move). When login manually, the desktop keeps the last login screen just like hangs (and the mouse can move).

The only way to resolve the problem is removing the .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml config file. Or, switch to another TTY and switch back can resolve the problem temporary.

It happens when I use a HiDPI display. (At least last time I use a 1080p monitor it works) I tried cinnamon, KDE, gnome, all these working.

OS: Arch Linux x64 with latest updates. DM: SDDM ( lightdm also has the same problem)
