The problem is that after logging in, the session stays back with a mouse pointer and nothing happens for several minutes, then it drops back to the login screen.

I cleared my home to ensure it wasnt caused by some setting in my homedir, saved session, etc. This didn't help.

I looked over the packages that got updated and rolled back the following packages:

extra/boost       1.78.0-2        1.78.0-3          0.06 MiB               
extra/boost-libs  1.78.0-2        1.78.0-3          0.01 MiB               
core/gssproxy     0.9.1-1         0.9.1-2           0.00 MiB               
core/krb5         1.19.3-1        1.19.3-3         -0.07 MiB               
extra/liblouis    3.21.0-1        3.22.0-1          0.10 MiB       2.16 MiB
core/libnftnl     1.2.1-1         1.2.2-1           0.00 MiB               
core/libverto                     0.3.2-4           0.07 MiB               
extra/libx11      1.8-1           1.8.1-2           0.00 MiB       2.05 MiB
core/linux        5.18.1.arch1-1  5.18.2.arch1-1   -0.41 MiB 

I tried the kernel first, but that didn't resolve so then I did the others and removed the new gssproxy dependency libverto.

Maybe not all of these are causing the issue but it helped me for now. its not a real solution of course.

Re: xfce4 session wont open after updates (a rollback resolves)

If those would have been posted in pacman upgrade issues where I looked and searched, I would have actually found those wink
