Well, I did and miraculesly: now it works! All I did now was rename my
~/.xfce4/xinitrd to backup restarted XFce, renamed the backup back agian and
TaDa....I must have done something wrong before, but dunno where, works now!

thanks!

Another thing with gkrellm (2.1.7, standard MDK rpm): once in every 4 to 5
startups gkrellm hangs..peeks mu CPU usage to 100% and keeps it that way 'till
I kill -n 9 it.
I can tell the 100% from the XFce systemload addin...
I start gkrellm from a "script" in the ~/Desktop/Autostart dir with the command
"gkrellm -w &" Have tried it without the "-w" option => no difference. Gkrellm
is set to sticky state and using the invisible-theme.
anybody have the same experience? Any sollutions?
