Gimp and XFce (arrow key problem)

[Jasper Huijsmans]

I never heard of such a problem before. You did exactly the right thing
with ~/.xfce/xfwmrc and you say it does work at first.
I can't think of anything that would set keybindings for xfwm after a
certain amount of time.
I also don't have problems with the GIMP, but then I only use the mouse
;-)

In Gimp, the user can use the arrow keys to move floating selections and layers.  This doesn't work with running under XFce.

I have also edited ~/.xfce/fvwmrc and commented out all of (what I thought was the default) bindings for RIGHT LEFT UP DOWN.  When I restart XFce everything is fine.  The Gimp works correctly.  For a while.  I have not figured out yet if it quits working after a given time, or if it quits after the use of some give key binding in XFce.  What I do know is that it quits working.  If I exit and reload (not restart) XFce it will work again for x amount of time, usually only 5-10 mins.
