>Description:

I am having massive trouble with the new Xfce4 version in pkgsrc on one
machine (while it is working fine for Youri).

I can not move Icons in a panel (right click, select move, try to move it
around and watch the panel crash). Several dialogs are missing important
scrollbars (e.g. the appearance applet). I get crashes from xfce4-session.

So I tested on another machine, going for a clean install:

I updated the machine to NetBSD-current as of yesterday. I removed
all pkgs (pkg_delete -r \*), and made sure $WRKPBKDIR was empty (besides
the binary pkgs I keep there: PACKAGES?=${WRKOBJDIR}/packages/${MACHINE_ARCH}).

Then I updated pkgsrc to -current as of yesterday evening.

Next I installed shells/tcsh and meta-pkgs/xfce4 from source.

I have:

PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS	+= -introspection -pulseaudio -polkit

and in .xsession:

--8<--
#! /bin/sh

eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
exec startxfce4
-->8--

Finaly I fired up xdm and tried to log in.

This gives me a plain blue screen and the xfce arrow pointer. Nothing else.

So I don't even get as far as on the other machine, and no usable desktop
at all.
