xfwm4 and moving windows

All,

I am still stuck with this problem. I have an LFS system and I have compiled 
all the packages listed below. I have built all the X.org packages required 
and I have twm and fluxbox working correctly, however I cannot get Xfce to work 
correctly.  Everything seems to work except I cannot move windows and I cannot 
select options in the menu bars.

If I click on the title bar it immediately shades or maximizes depending on 
how I have it set up. If I hold down ALT and click and drag a window it does 
not move. I can hold down ALT and right click and resize windows, thus moving 
them around the screen that way, but that is not really prefered. 

When I click on a menu bar if I hold down the left button I can select any 
option, but simply clicking once the list goes away immediately. I am 
wondering if my mouse click speed is way tooo fast, but I have adjusted it 
using the xfce mouse tool and it makes no difference. Is X over-exagerating my 
mouse clicking? I'm not sure. It works in twm and fluxbox so I assume it is an 
Xfce issue. Can anyone suggest a place to begin? I've been recompiling with 
different options for over two weeks now and I cannot make this work. I have 
rebuild all the X packages and even upgraded all of them to the latest 
versions of just about everything from 
xorg.freedesktop.org/pub/xorg/individual . Any help would be appreciated.
