The first one also contains a patch, but it has been integrated into later
mesa releases, in particular the one we are using.

Indeed, the problem disappears with this commit; I can log in and out
and in again with xfce working. So I am cc-ing the author of the commits
updating xfce, maybe they have an answer!

And I will try to look at the patch in the second report you reference
above.

Thanks!
