Created attachment 2222 A patch to fix the bug described here. A bug report, including a patch, was submitted to Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=507197 The bug report was closed without actually fixing the bug, even though a patch was supplied, for purely political reasons (the patch is in context format rather than universal format). In short, sometimes, some program using libxfcegui will try to run the program "xfrun4" and fail to do so. The underlying libraries provide a reason for the failure, but this reason is discarded by code in libxfcegui4. Instead, the only error message presented to stderr is that xfrun4 could not be spawned. The patch provided on the Web site is against libxfcegui as it's distributed by Debian in the libxfcegui4-4 package. No attempt was made to install the orignal libxfcegui, get the official release number, or test later versions of libxfcegui. The Debian patch is reproduced here.
The bug was closed because you were unreachable to comment on the bug, using an unexistent email address is a bad idea. Feel free to reopen it (and clearly it's better to have all informations here).
