xfce4 on Debian/Alpha

[Jan Lentfer]

Hi all,

today I tried to compile the cvs on my PWS 500a running Debian testing.
The compilation of all modules went through sucessfully, but when I try to run xfce4 using the Xnest script from http://members.home.nl/jbhuijsmans/xfce4-cvs.html all I get is a blue window. The messages are the following:

lentferj at neslonek:~$ ./xfce4

I installed with prefix=/usr/local/xfce4 which is in my path. It worked that way on one of my x86 boxes with debian.


Any help would be appreciated.
