Tasks I start in xprofile on lightdm boot 'stop' after a certain time

I use lighdm which sources xprofile. I have noticed the past few weeks that the things I set there stop working all of a sudden.

This is one on my desktop:

xrandr --output VGA2 --auto --output HDMI2 --auto --right-of VGA2 &
 
xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --output HDMI1 --auto --right-of VGA1 &
 
xset -b &
 
setxkbmap -option ''
setxkbmap -option 'ctrl:nocaps'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 36 = Super_R'
xmodmap -e 'keycode any = Return'
xcape -e 'Super_R=Return'
xcape -e 'Control_L=Escape'
xcape -e 'Control_R=Escape'
 
mpd &
 
sh ~/.fehbg &
 
redshift -l funkytown &
 
unclutter &

I noticed it because xcape stopped working, but then when I checked mpd it had also stopped, and xset -b was no longer doing its thing because the system bell starts up again.

My laptop xprofile is similar:

redshift -l funkytown &

xset -b &

sh ~/.fehbg &

setxkbmap -option ''
setxkbmap -option 'ctrl:nocaps'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 36 = Super_R'
xmodmap -e 'keycode any = Return'
xcape -e 'Super_R=Return'
xcape -e 'Control_L=Escape'
xcape -e 'Control_R=Escape'

unclutter &

In this case it's more painful because it locks out the return key, so all I can do is reboot! Makes it hard to diagnose stuff and see what's running.

I can't identify any particular event that seems to be causing this. I'll just be using the machine and it just stops.

Does anyone know where I could even start looking for more information on this problem?

I am having the same problem.  This bug report explains some of the finer details:

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/49953

Unfortunately, it's an upstream problem likely caused by some other fix related to Mir integration.
