   Well, I found the cause (look at the posting with the word SOLVED in the   
   header) but I have no idea if it would work for you - especially because   
   you are unsure as to whether you still have the problem in the first place.   
   I have no idea how the XFCE environment behaves.  If my fix works for   
   anyone else, so much the better.
