I forgot to mention, when I tried deinstalling xfce4 and removing the xfce ports then cvsup'ping, and then applying the new patch and installing, what happened is it installed the version indicated in the ports (4.0.6), which it didn't do before - when I applied your patch previously and portupgraded xfce4, it upgraded to the new version (4.1.90), but when I did it later I was installing it instead of upgrading. Do I need to install the version in the ports first, then patch and upgrade? - jt
