Edscott,

  Bingo! I did not notice that the default ${prefix} changed from
/usr/local/ to /usr. And I did have files from April in /usr/local/bin/ that
were loaded before those from last week in /usr/bin/.

  It was my error that I didn't notice the implications of the two locations
whenever I ran 'locate xfce'.

  Thanks very much. Yes, even at 1024x768 dpi the hairline is visible and
clickable. Now I'll clean up the other hosts.

  What's the advantage of moving from /usr/local/ to /usr/? My understanding
is that /usr/ can be overwritten when a distribution is upgraded, at least
with Red Hat, but that /usr/local/ is left alone. Just curious.

Again, gracias!
