XFCE login warning message

I keep getting a warning message when I log in that tells me:

Could not look up internet address for archlinux.  This will prevent Xfce from operating correctly.  It may be possible to correct the problem by adding  archlinux to the file /etc/hosts on your system.

Yet, my /etc/hosts has this line in it already:

127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain   localhost "archlinux"

My internet works fine but I do get an "hostname: Unknown host" in the first console. Maybe that has something to do with it?

Thanks for your help!
