Description Stephan Windmüller 2007-01-25 22:07:41 CET
After building Xfce 4.4.0 with the graphical installer in ~/local and using a clean config several things do not work as expected.

- Various icons are not displayed. This includes all icons in                                                                               
  xfce-setting-show except for xscreensaver. Also the lock/quit-button                                                                      
  in the panel is empty.

- When I click on the xfce-menu-button, nothing happens. Errors from the                                                                    
  log:

- A right-click on the desktop shows no effect.


The lock-button appears after setting XDG_DATA_DIRS manually, but the problem in the settings are still there.

These libraries were used to build Xfce:

glib    2.6.4
gtk     2.6.4
libpng  1.2.8
libxml  2.6.16
vte     0.11.11
xrender 0.8.3

Please, only one bug per report.

Please file a separate bug for this; it has nothing to do with xfdesktop.

These two are likely the same thing.

This is probably your overall problem, but it's a separate bug, similar to your first one.
