Sorry ... I forgot to mention, when I tried deinstalling xfce4 and 
removing the xfce ports then cvsup'ping, and then applying the new 
patch and installing, what happened is it installed the version 
indicated in the ports (4.0.6), which it didn't do before - when I 
applied your patch previously and portupgraded xfce4, it upgraded to 
the new version (4.1.90), but when I did it later I was installing it 
instead of upgrading. Do I need to install the version in the ports 
first, then patch and upgrade?
