Useful data point - thanks. I am using a login manager (lightdm), which launches startxfce4. Perhaps there's something got messed up with that combination.
Try sddm.
Perhaps. To be honest, I don't think lightdm is responsible for the issue either. (It hasn't been updated since March.) There's obviously *something* that changed recently that's causing this behavior. I'm not sure what - or how to fix. But there's some evidence this might get fixed on the XFCE side soon.
I used to use lightdm for some time but from time to time I faced with very *strange* message from various programs about connection to dbus (they refered to /tmp/dbus-XXXXX, saying "Connection failed" or something like that, but dbus is started by systemd and it's socket is in /run NOT in /tmp). I tried to investigate this problem but without any success. Moreover, I found some problem with how lightdm initialize session (I don't remember details, though I filed a bug report for that) but AFAIU it wasn't fixed. I switched to sddm and don't see any more any messages about dbus in /tmp.
Thanks,
DR
