First off: After having upgraded to xorg6.8.1 in ports, I have to chown
root:wheel on /tmp/.ICE-unix as you warned me about earlier, but that went
smoothly.

After RC3 compiled (with installer from os-cillation.de) with composite
manager (no optimizations) and xorg6.8 fresh from ports, xfdesktop no
longer crashes, but xfce4-panel still does after the first click on it
(after having successfully launched the terminal which I clicked on).

Here goes:

[jakobbg at hombre jakobbg]$ gdb local/bin/xfce4-panel

And that's it. Application/panel does not start, and I'm thus unable to
provide any more information. Before exiting X again, console now says:
