Bug#611326: Further information
The only XFCE developer who seemed remotely interested in this problem suggested I try installing XFCE 4.8. This is available only as source. I downloaded this and attempted to follow the build instructions provided. After many hours of thrashing about in a state of ignorance, "aided" by a different XFCE developer whose help could be described only as obstructive, I ended up with a build, only to realise that that was not the end: it needs to be installed somewhere. The final post I have made for XFCE bug 7231 concludes this sorry story: I now appear to have successfully built XFCE 4.8, but I have no idea how to actually install it. The build process creates a lot of executables, but does not seem to put them in the right place. There are no installation instructions available on the XFCE site. I have made a forum post asking for help, which has been met with a deafening silence in the space of 10 days. I can go no further, and in any case I have no motivation to devote any more of my time to this. Do what you want with this bug. Bye-bye XFCE, I wish I could say it was nice knowing you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#611326: Further information
I have now discovered that when the panel gets into this spin, it can be stopped by opening the panel properties and changing it from 'Normal height' to 'Full height'. This causes the vertical panel to expand to fit the height of the screen. The juddering stops, and the CPU usage of the panel process drops to what I presume is normal: 1.5% - 2%. (I find it a little odd that the process is not more idle.) I have to say I am seriously considering ditching XFCE because of this problem. I reported the bug 6 days ago, and there has been no acknowledgement or response other than automated replies from your system. There is no indication of the status of this bug within your system. The bug has not found its way through to XFCE's bug tracking system. I can conclude only that you are not maintaining this within Debian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
