When I log a user on a CentOS workstation with XFCE, the machine get stuck on the splash screen. It just never disappear. Even if I set the Slash screen settings to None.
Those users are part of an Freeipa setup with remote home directories.
To unlock this situation, I've to switch to non-graphical mode and then back to graphical. This way, I'll come back to the normal desktop.
Is there any settings or file I can change to disable this?
I had the same issue on CentOS 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5.
Removing the file ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml, make the problem go away.
This will reset the display config in Xfce.
UPDATE This file was not properly generated again. So the problem is back.
