Package: xfce4-session Version: 4.8.1-2 Severity: grave Justification: causes serious data loss
If the dbus service is restarted while an XFCE session is running, the session terminates immediately without warning taking all running X applications with it. I have filed this bug against xfce4-session since this is the most likely XFCE component, but it might possibly be a different package. I classed this as "grave" because it results in complete, immediate, and unrecoverable loss of all data the user had unsaved at the point in time dbus restarted. The restarting of a system service such as dbus should be something that XFCE can cope with. Certainly, immediately aborting is entirely inappropriate.
