Why not. I was thinking of a sum up after a few mails :-)

Then we've got 2 bugs, 1 concerning XFree, 1 concerning Xfce4. Haven't we?

No problem.

I forgot to say that convert is part of the imagemagick package.

Ok, but a screenshot seems important to me, that helps "visualizing" the
matter.

Do you think you could try a non-official package of mine, printing
various debug informations? (I'm NOT a Debian Developer, then it IS
dangerous; but maybe you can trust my "devotion" to Debian and my work
to patch the bugs of Xfce [1].)

Your mail was worth the BTS. Next one could be private, we'll sum up all
informations every time we find something interesting. Do you agree?

See you
