	I still get the whole file name with a double click in Terminal but I
tried it with a vanilla xterm and that gives the results you are seeing.
Thus the problem is with X and not anything related to Xfce at all.

	On my system (xfce 4.4b2) the xfterm4 script calls up Terminal, which
is the Xfce specific term.  Your setup must be calling xterm.  I would
recommend that you use the Xfce Terminal program instead of xterm.
