Package: xfwm4 Version: 4.8.1-3 Severity: normal
Since recent upgrade of xfce4 etc. to 4.8.1, xfwm4 no longer starts on login even though it is set to start "immediately" in the session settings preferences. When it does start, I think it may be interacting oddly with gnome-terminal. I filed a bug against gnome-terminal thinking it was that but now I'm not so sure. All windows for gnome-terminal shrink to almost nothing - just one or two spaces in additon to the prompt text. They mostly shrink upwards and then leftwards. Sometimes resizing them works for only a second before it repeats. Clicks from primary mouse button are ignored. Close buttons in preferences dialogues cannot be selected by mouse (works in "about" dialogue). This doesn't seem to affect other windows, so I assumed it was the update of gnome-terminal but because I'm seeing terminal windows start with no window manager, it is clear the resizing oddness occurs when xfwm4 is started. Until recent updates of xfce4 to 4.8.1 etc. and gnome-terminal to 3.0.1, everything worked more-or-less beautifully. So although I'm very, very new to linux, I don't think this is (simple) user error which I would normally assume! All packages installed are from wheezy as far as I can tell.
