Hi,
i have some strange behaviour here.
4.7.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 30 19:28:42 CEST 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux
XFCE4 4.12
xorg-server 1.18.4-1
keyboard set to Generic 105 INTL
German layout
language codes as set in installation, everything was working fine.
i often use special characters such as … or ·
i get them with AltGr + [.] and [,]
since a few weeks, hitting certain combos crashes my xfce.
that means. For Example,
i hit AltGr+[c] --> freeze
i hit AltGt+[m] --> freeze
freeze means, i'm still able to move the mouse cursor, but
windows not clickable/movable
no text input
clock in panel stops counting seconds
only way to get back to normal is by killing process xinit from tty.
don't know where and how to search for a solution. Any hint?

Check whether it's only a visual thing (ie. stalled compositor), https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xf … te_manager ie. disable it

been there, disabled compositing, same behaviour.

instead of killing the session, is killing the WM sufficient?
export DISPLAY=:0
kill xfwm4
# ensure it's dead
xfwm4 &
Otherwise check for grabs, install xdotool and run
export DISPLAY=:0
xdotool key "XF86LogGrabInfo"
Then inspect the xorg log (warning, could be in ~/.local/share/xorg/ rather than in /var/log)

no, that did not help.
switching back to xsession shows the background, last openend windows, an empty grey panel without symbols.
I can move the mouseponiter, but no further action is possible.
then i tried to kill xfce4-session, *panel
nothing helped
Otherwise check for grabs, install xdotool and run
export DISPLAY=:0 xdotool key "XF86LogGrabInfo"
Then inspect the xorg log (warning, could be in ~/.local/share/xorg/ rather than in /var/log)
i did this. then my ~.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log fills with grab events.
the logfile of a fresh start and some keys pressed can be found here:
https://p.42.vc/?b3b79accc185de07#dKeQt … qOLtcGfvU= (zerobin)
sorry, but i can't see whats wrong here.
thanks for looking into this, much appreciated…

There'r no active grabs. But we now know for sure that the server still responds.
Can you try uninstalling xf86-video-intel (on a reasonably recent Arch, this should auto-enable the modesetting driver, ie. you still get GUI) and recause the issue?
Do you have any global shortcuts involving AltGr?
Does it matter which window is active when hitting the key combo?
And, for a wild gues,, record the outputs of "locale", "locale -a", "setxkbmap -print" and "setxkbmap -query".

Sounds a bit similar to an issue I had about a month ago - see my post and others here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=216856

I'll try this next.

none that i know of. xfce4-settings - keyboard - shortcuts doesn't have any.

No. even on plain desktop with no windows the freeze occurs
And, for a wild gues,, record the outputs of "locale", "locale -a", "setxkbmap -print" and "setxkbmap -query".
output here:

and downgrading dbus…not shure if i want this.

Can you please repost the output here (in code tags)
This zerobin service seems to provide no reasonable plaintext - or your locales are indeed "LANG=deDE.UTF-8", which is wrong.

i did this in post #8 from 2016-10-24 08:28:22
in the meanwhile i removed xf86-video-intel --> no change

Do you have some ck-exec or dbus-launch in "ps ax"?
xfce "somehow" seems to trigger that for "some" configuration - and messes with the logind session bus.
See eg. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=218064&p=2 (very long thread, a new user should not have this problem, though)
Also see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/50543 for a bunch of DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS nuking incidents.

Thank you so much – found the solution in the mentioned thread.
I changed my .xinitrc to
…
#exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4
exec startxfce4
and everything works as expected now.
