Hi,
I'm having some problems related to weird window/work area set-up
within XFce4. Below is a brief outline of the problem,
will be happy to send more detailed information once I
know what you require or just give you ssh access if you would
prefer.

Makefile lines as per Handbook.

-Fresh install of FreeBSD 5.1 on Alpha1000a 5/300
-Xserver set up with tdfx driver for voodoo3 and working well with twm
-I setup and ran CVSup as per Handbook
-downloaded XFce4 source files & compiled, all went well during compilation.

Have tried starting both from "startxfce" & .xinitrc, xfce comes up and the
following problems arose.
I cannot move windows vertically to or within the lower 2/3
of the screen, and can only see the bottom half of most windows
as the rest is above the top of the screen. this happens also when a window
is
moved to another work area.
Have looked at the documentation and tried various settings within
Xfce but alas to no avail.

Thanks

Trevor Callow
