When I open Brave Browser and go to

       http://squall.sfsu.edu/gif/jetstream_pac_init_00.gif
(other pages too)

five seconds later, I get kicked all the way out of Xfce and back to my
lightdm logon dialog.

Crashing Xfce would mean that it is probably a video card driver or an
X bug that brave happens to trip over.

It could be that brave is calling  X-windows that either X-windows
cannot handle the call (valid or invalid) or it could be the call the
video driver with something valid that it cannot handle but should
handle.   If it is an invalid/corrupted Xwindows call then X should
reject and send an error back to brave.   Or it could be that it is a
perfectly valid X request but there is an underlying bug in the video
driver you video card uses, or there is a bug in X were X does not
handle it.  It it was an underlying bug in X I would think others
would see it, but if it was specific to a video card that would limit
it to a much smaller number.   There should be an log file for Xfce
someplace mine shows ~/.local/share/xorg.  But if you find the main X
process and do a ls -l /proc/pid/fd you should see the log file as one
of the open files.

I disabled Brave's hardware acceleration.  Now we will see...

Thank you!
