CVS's xfdesktop & gtk-2.4.1

[Bradee-oh!]

Missed alot of action as I was away for the weekend.  The following is 
what I intended to reply with before I caught up on the rest of this 
thread.  I'll try some of the other suggestions in the thread and see if 
I can solve it.

I wiped out my install of xfce4 4.0.5 completely - no traces left - to 
start fresh on cvs.  I downloaded all of the cvs modules and installed 
them in the order specified on the xfce.org website.

The location of my xfce-mcs-manager is
"/usr/local/bin/xfce-mcs-manager"

The location of my xfdesktop is
"/usr/local/bin/xfdesktop"

in fact, an ls of the dir shows that all the executables for my xfce 
environment are in /usr/local/bin   ;)

If that's what you meant by "not installed in the same place", then I'm 
afraid I'd have to respectfully disagree.

However, if there's any more info I could give you about the 
installation of ANY module involved, please let me know.  I'd love to 
help you track down the problem as much as I can.

Anyway to determine this?  Any one file that should exist in a specific 
location for me to determine whether or not a settings panel exists?

No apologys neccessary - you and the xfce.org team provide a great 
service to the FOSS community.  I for one appreciate whatever time you 
can commit.
