Possible Bug - A bit more info: .xsession-errors contents

[David A. Gershman]

Sorry for the bombardment of emails.  I should have thought to look at
this earlier.  Before I click "Close" on the "XFce Panel" settings
dialog, but after I change the orientation to 'vertical', the following
shows up in my .xsession-errors file:

xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant : input not UTF-8
output conversion failed due to conv error
Bytes: 0xA1 0x78 0x40 0x22
xmlOutputBufferFlush: encoder error
xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant : input not UTF-8
output conversion failed due to conv error
Bytes: 0xA1 0x78 0x40 0x22
xmlOutputBufferFlush: encoder error

Hope this helps.

David
