xfce4 doesn't work anymore for me...

Jasper,

A quick look at the source in main.c, line 825/826 shows that gtk_widget_show is
commented out. 

By putting it back, the panel works fine.

    /* give early visual feedback 
     * the init functions have already created the basic panel 
     */
    panel_set_position();
    gtk_widget_show(toplevel);

I can commit that change to CVS if you want.

Cheers,
Olivier.
