To be able to reproduce, analyze or even fix this issue it would be good if you install GNOME in parallel to Xfce. > In any case, that commands reports nothing in my Xfce session. Yes, as I said, Xfce doesn't set the variable SESSION_MANAGER (at least not in the systemd manager environment block, only in the standard user environment). > I don't really understand how it's possible.

See here: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemctl.html (search for Environment Commands). > SESSION_MANAGER is definitely set here: > > printenv |grep SESSION_MANAGER > SESSION_MANAGER=local/scapa:@/tmp/.ICE-unix/32176,unix/scapa:/tmp/.ICE- > unix/32176 > > (32176 is the pid of the currently running xfce4-session process). Yes, the variable is set in the standard user environment, but (as I said above) not in the systemd manager environment block which is persistent across logins. Regards Ronny
