thanx for the response.  it has to be something to do with Xfce,
as it doesn't happen on KDE: when i exit Xfce, then immediately start KDE,
the Gtk apps start (or i can start them) & the dialog lines are ok.

i remerged Gtk-engines & Gtk-engines-xfce , which seem to be the Gtk items
which i had not recently updated, & the problem remains.  of course,
i used BH's uninstaller & installer to reinstall Xfce & rebooted.

this has happened before & it's been cured by recompiling things,
but i'ld rather not go thro' everything just in the hope something will work.

anyone else have suggestions ?  meanwhile, i can check forums & Google.

this doesn't seem to be happening regularly, at least not this start-up,
but the session manager is not a well-polished product yet.
