Hello All! I've been a happy user of XFce since 3.8.11, it has
lengthened the life of my little sparcstation 20. of course i still want
to push it, so I've been trying out XFce 4 betas, and have gotten
everything to compile and work except xfce4-panel... when I run it, I
get the message:
[miker at hamlin miker]$ xfce4-panel                             
** Message: xfce4-panel: Running without session manager
** Message: xfce4-panel: module clock successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module mailcheck successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module switcher successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module systembuttons successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module pager successfully loaded
** Message: xfce4-panel: module separator successfully loaded
The program 'xfce4-panel' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 117 error_code 11 request_code 131 minor_code 5)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
function.)

xfwm4 and all the other XFce4 components load fine, and work well. If
you'd like me to do any type of testing, straceing, or debugging, let me
know. So far I know that if I set up an Xvnc server on the same machine,
all the XFce4 components (including the panel) run fine.
