Taskbar Placement Question

[Mark Kane]

Hi everyone. Just have a question about the grouping and placement in
the taskbar. Every time I start Xfce up, I start with a clean session.
Clean meaning every time I restart X or reboot my machine, I close out
of every window and save my Xfce session with nothing open. I always
open my applications in a specific order and they used to stay in that
order. That order is usually (from left to right):  XChat, Firefox,
Terminal, XMMS, Sylpheed-Claws, and then anything else.

Now it seems that the order gets messed up with programs that have
more than four windows. I always start XChat first which places it at
the far left of the taskbar. When I start Firefox up, it starts to go
to the right of XChat as it's supposed to, but when Firefox opens more
windows, it moves to the left of XChat so it is first on the taskbar. I
have Firefox's SessionSaver extension and I have lots of Firefox
windows, so right away upon starting it brings all those windows
(currently 24) up and groups them to the left of the real first program
I started (XChat).

A simpler explanation: once a program has four or more windows, the
placement seems to get off and it moves that group of windows to the
left side of the real first application that was started. The same thing
happens when I get several GIMP windows open.

Here's a screenshot. I started XChat as my first application, then
Firefox, then Terminal, then XMMS, then Sylpheed-Claws, then GIMP. Look
how they are placed now:

With GIMP having only 3 windows open, it moves back to the correct spot
on the taskbar.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
