Description: Upgrade breaks Qtile Window Manager - unable to
login from display manager or console
Additional info: * package version(s) * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: When attempting to login from lightdm / webkit greeter or using "exec qtile" from the console, Qtile fails to launch and brings me back to the ligthdm login screen The best solution for me at the moment is for me to downgrade python-cairocffi to 0.9.0.1 sudo pacman -U python-cairocffi-0.9.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz attached is my .xsession-errors.old file which helped me track down the package that was causing the problem. also, here are two occurrences that happened in the past that were reported on qtile's issue board: https://github.com/qtile/qtile/issues/680 https://github.com/qtile/qtile/issues/994 This is my first bug report, so hopefully this helps. |

Also thanks for opening the upstream issue [1]. This indeed seems to be a re-occuring issue.

Please check whether qtile 0.13.0-2 works for you!
