GDM crashes after log into a XFCE session

Hi all,

I've an archlinux system with gnome3 and XFCE and GDM to manage them.
Currently GDM is enabled and starts on tty1. I can successfully log into gnome3 and also log out and switch user.
The problem arises when connecting to xfce. The log in performs perfectly but the log out fails to return to GDM greeter.

Specifically this is what happened.

After clicking on log out (as well switch user) I am prompted in tty1 in a freeze mode. Nothing is working  (yeah I can't even change virtual terminal by ctrl+alt+F#).
So I enabled kernel shortcuts to regain keyboard control from X. Of course that worked and I was able to shut down Xorg from another terminal. By killing Xorg, gdm starts to work again prompting the greeter.

I am not able to spot where is the bug, could anyone help me?

greetings.
