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?
