[SOLVED] xfce logs out instantly on tty change and logout menu...

I can't post any error messages about this because I don't know what to test but whenever I go back and forth between tty7 (graphical environment) and any of the other consoles, or when I try to logout through the logout menu, XFCE crashes and logs me out to the lightdm screen. I can't logout, restart or shut down unless I do so manually from tty. I don't know if this is related but I have a bunch of "Xauthority.xxxxx" files in my user folder. Is there anything I can test to at least be able to post some error messages? Thanks.

Thanks

xfce-session and glib update fixed it.
