I tested with the following modifications to our lightweight-desktop

And I cannot reproduce this. I believe the fix Ludo did 6 years ago in
be05e643ae4d62dc25aa88b7fbdb0eae9cf10eb0 combined with the use of a
xsession file added in commit 537fe4568f4 by Kei resolved this issue for
good.
Closing.
Thanks,
