windows colors after upgrade

Michal,

Nope, that's urelated.

The problem comes from the "speed" of the different computers.

Your office PC is probably faster than than your home PC, so the xfce
panel is faster to start and apply colors before the session manager
restore all apps.

There is a parameter you need to increase in your $HOME/.xfce/xfwmrc (if
you don't have xfwmrc in $HOME/.xfce/, simply copy the one from
/etc/X11/xfce/xfwmrc to $HOME/.xfce/xfwmrc)

On your home PC, ie the one that doesn't show proper colors on restored
apps, increase the value "WaitSession". The default is 2 seconds, but on
slower machines, a value of 5 seconds is probably better suited.

Cheers,
Olivier.
