xfce 4.20 -.xsession-errors

Hello all and a happy new year,

since upgrading to 4.20, i get these messages every time i restart:

** Message: 17:15:04.297: Failed to fetch _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS; assuming 1
** Message: 17:15:04.297: Failed to get _NET_WORKAREA; using full screen dimensions
** Message: 17:15:04.297: Failed to fetch _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP; assuming 0
** Message: 17:15:04.297: Failed to fetch _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP; assuming 0
** Message: 17:15:04.485: Failed to fetch _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP; assuming 0
** Message: 17:15:04.682: Failed to fetch _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP; assuming 0

The system is running smoothly, but I'm wondering about these messages. They did not occur in version 4.18.
My system is a debian sid, without wayland settings.
I would appreciate an explanation.

kind regards

Its coming from the new libxfce4windowing library component. See: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/libxfce4wi … x11.c#L202.

@ToZ
it's once again about these error messages from libxfce4windowing.
I wanted to log in to gitlab yesterday, because maybe it's a bug that should be reported. But that's not possible at the moment, because the new login is blocked.
Maybe you can do it for me?
Or do you think it's not a bug? I'm not sure.
If it is a bug after all, thank you very much for your efforts.

kind regards
