Repeat the user display in the top right corner of the desktop after i

I have installed xfce4.
When I log out the current user, re-enter startxfce4 and that's what happened in the upper right corner.There are multiple duplicate usernames.

I'm not sure how well startxfce4 behaves in conjunction with systemd's logind sessions, you are likely better off/safer by not invoking startxfce4 directly, but setting up a proper xinitrc (pay attention to the second blue note box) doing an exec startxfce4 at the end of it.

If that isn't it, you could likely band-aid over by disabling user session retention: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/sy … pDelaySec=

If neither of those are it, you might want to post a

sudo journalctl -b

after such a login-logout cycle, in [ code ] tags.

The first method doesn't work .I am a novice in Linux usage.
I don't quite understand the second method.
Do you want me to add such a sentence in /systemd/logind.conf?

UserStopDelaySec=0

The following can be solved
If for any reason you need to revert back: to the default settings, rename ~/.config/xfce4-session/ and ~/.config/xfce4/

$ mv ~/.config/xfce4-session/ ~/.config/xfce4-session-bak

$ mv ~/.config/xfce4/ ~/.config/xfce4-bak

Looks like you have multiple Action Button panel applets going. Right click and remove each one you don't want (right click each one of your initials and hit remove. The initials are just the user name icon of the action buttons feature). Go into settings and Session/Startup and uncheck automatically save sessions on logout, then in the same window click the tab that says Session and clear known sessions. Now reboot and see if it's fixed.
