minor settings problems

[Felipe Lopes]

Maybe I was not clear when I told my problem...I am using the 4.0.3 indeed, 
which is the last package from Debain...My problem has to do with settings 
of monitor or videocard.... 
Lemme try to explain again: 

There is this bg: xfce-stripes.png...It has some gradient by default, 
agreed?? There is (propably) a miss configuration of XF86Config-4 (probably) 
which makes this gradient no to be smooth... 

I assume that this problem and the icon problem (probably) has nothing to do 
w/ xfce4 itself, but I thought that someone, while trying to set xfce4, had 
the same problem and found a solution for it :) 

About updating to 4.0.5, since I am new to linux, it might be a good idea 
wait 4.0.5 get to debian repositories before. 

(Xfce4 is awesome)
