@jeff.ohrstrom I found it !! 💙

```auto
(
  export SEND_256_COLORS_TO_REMOTE=1
  export XDG_CONFIG_HOME="<%= session.staged_root.join("config") %>"
  export XDG_DATA_HOME="<%= session.staged_root.join("share") %>"
  export XDG_CACHE_HOME="$(mktemp -d)"
  module restore
  # set -x
  echo toto1
  #xfwm4 --replace --compositor=off&
  xfwm4 --compositor=off --sm-client-disable&
  echo toto2
  xsetroot -solid "#D3D3D3"
  xfsettingsd --sm-client-disable&
  xfce4-panel --sm-client-disable
) &

```

I tested with `echo toto` to debug. As the “–daemon” option is not available (Don’t know why) I tried ‘&’ to background it as you said :

So I apply this logic for the following xfce4 command. It seems you only need to background `xfsettingsd --sm-client-disable&`, and look at my beautifull session:

I am not sure it’s fully working or it’s “best practice”, but the situation is much better.

Thank you very much for all your help !

PS: I think it would be a good idea to include a screenshot of what an interactive session should look like. Until today, I thought it was normal to have a non-resizable “post-it”.
