Gentoo system with gtk+ 2.5.4, after emerge xfce 4.1.91, startxfce and right click on the desktop, after the desktop popups, click other empty area, the desktop will not refresh. the picture is here http://www.linuxsir.org/bbs/attachment.php?s=&postid=884221
i'm not supporting gtk 2.5.x, as it's unstable. this may be a gtk bug, please report it to them. also, your screenshot is at a place which requires a login, on a website that is not in english. that's not at all helpful for me. in the future, please provide a direct image link, or, preferably, attach the image directly to the bug report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 403 ***
Created attachment 88 The screenshot for this error Maybe it is a gtk error, but with gnome2, the popup menu works fine. I will check this with gtk+ 2.4.13
I'm running gtk 2.5.4 here also and can reproduce this bug. It doesn't happen however if there is a composite manager running. Either by running xfwm4's composite mode or running xcompmgr from freedesktop.org.
I tried to downgrade to gtk+2.4.13, it runs ok, but now I upgrade it gtk+2.5.4, the problem appears again.
