Does xfce-mcs-manager hang if you try to start it after Xfce has started?  If
so, try running it through gdb, and hit ctrl-c when it hangs, then type 'bt' at
the gdb prompt to see where.

First check to see if it hangs by running it from a terminal.  By default, it
should detach from the terminal and fork into the background, so if it doesn't
do that within a few seconds, then it's hanging.

So you need to run it inside gdb, and instruct it not to fork into the background:

$ gdb xfce-mcs-manager
[gdb prints stuff]
(gdb) run --no-daemon-debug
[more stuff... wait a few seconds to make sure it's hanging]
<< press ctrl-c here >>
[gdb prints a couple lines and gives you a prompt]
(gdb) bt
[gdb prints a bunch of stuff and goes back to the prompt]
(gdb) quit
$

Just copy and paste all the output from when you start gdb.  If it's long, put
it in a text file and attach it to this bug.
