(Or should, at least.) Yeah, these kinds of problems illustrate the kind of problems you get with GUIs in general and with "desktop environments" in particular... My piece of advice to the OP (if he insists sticking to a GUI Emacs) is, disable the login manager for xfce (which is slim by default), then use ~/.xinitrc to specify exactly what software to run. You can check out an example here, which uses openbox as window manager: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/.xinitrc If that solves the problem it is either an XFCE/xfwm4 problem so then you know what not to use :) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
