I'm using XFWM 4.4.2-5. I create a new user with a blank home folder, and run the following command to start XFCE: xinit /usr/bin/xfce4-session > out.txt 2> err.txt XFCE comes up. Without doing anything else, I click the Terminal icon on the dock. Same problem: some flickering and then no window border. My system is a Toshiba Portege 7010CT laptop, using the "neomagic" video driver: 00:04.0 VGA compatible controller: Neomagic Corporation NM2200 [MagicGraph 256AV] (rev 12) I did a clean install of Lenny yesterday, running the RC1 "netinst" ISO from my hard disk. I'm attaching my xorg.conf (which is the installer-generated one, plus a "DisplaySize" line) and the stderr messages of running the above command. I'll be happy to provide more information if you tell me where to look. -- John Lindgren
