Nathan,

Yikes!  Sorry you’re facing such an annoying bug.  This is the first report of 
the that I’ve seen.  Hopefully we can pinpoint a cause/workaround, but some 
more info is needed.

How those windows are drawn depends primarily on Tk and XFCE.  When you compile 
from SVN, notice whether it is configured to use a system Tk or our bundled Tk. 
 Whichever it’s using, switch it to the other and retest.

For example, you can force it to use our bundled Tk with the cmake 
-DBRLCAD_BUNDLED_LIBS=ON option.

The problem is almost certainly some bad interaction with XFCE, but narrowing 
in on where this is happening can be tricky.  If you can test with a different 
wm and confirm it works, that will at least help confirm its involvement.

Will follow up with you on IRC for more details.

Cheers!
Sean
