[Robby Workman]

Hi Joost,

Sorry for the delay; my internet at home has been FUBAR lately, and
finding time to reply at work has been difficult :/

Let's take this to private mail from here, as it's clear that it's not
an xfce issue any more...

Sounds like there's a video-related quirk that the machine needs.
You might try pulling the latest hal-info package from our -current
tree (that's a noarch package, so it will be safe to upgrade on a 12.2
system) and see if it makes a difference.

If not, then have a look at README.SLACKWARE in the pm-utils
documentation directory for more troubleshooting information.

That sounds like one of the hal addons isn't working properly.  Be sure
you have all of the packages from the 12.2 tree actually installed,
most notably the parted package.  Our hal links to libparted now,
whereas it hasn't in the past, so that one has bitten a lot of people
on the upgrade.
