	I've done. Now it is worse. No panel, no background !!! Root neither 
have them!

	If I uninstall it and reinstall 5th august cvs, It works again!

	I don't think so. I've always compiled/installed xfce in /usr/local, 
i.e. using the usual "./configure;make;make install".

	Non-root user and root has the same $PATH

	I've search several files in /usr and not found anyone. What files do I 
have to search to know if there is some xfce installation in /usr?

cheers
