--- Comment #1 from Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org> ---
Hi,

Thanks for reporting this issue; I'll be taking a look.

In the while, could you please provide an indication how to reproduce the
issue? I never encountered it, I think I can find a way by looking into the
issue but it would be easier with some indication.

Also, please avoid unkind words in bug reports toward anyone. Upstream XFCE
developers are also usually very collaborative, many of them do use FreeBSD=
 and
most often things work out of the box. Calling them unkind terms will not be
helpful for future collaboration.

I also notice that this pidof utility is present in the ports tree, so mayb=
e we
could add it as a dependency.

Patching software diverging from upstream is something I try to avoid.
