I had xfce4 running in version 4.0.1 or something, and everything was 
fine. The whole bunch of xfce stuff never crashed, and iconbox was the 
"taskbar" on top of my screen.

Pretty sure.
After using startx I could issue a 'ps ax|grep xfce' and this is the output:
[mhettwer at acchilles] <~> $ ps ax|grep xfce
91654  ??  Ss     0:02,23 xfce-mcs-manager
91646  v0  IW     0:00,00 /bin/sh /usr/X11R6/etc/xfce4/xinitrc
91660  v0  S      0:14,97 /usr/X11R6/bin/xfce4-panel

If I start iconbox it looks like that:
[mhettwer at acchilles] <~> $ xfce4-iconbox
** Message: xfce4-iconbox: Running without session manager
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[mhettwer at acchilles] <~> $ ps ax|grep xfce
91654  ??  Ss     0:02,23 xfce-mcs-manager
28755  p0  R+     0:00,00 grep xfce
91646  v0  IW     0:00,00 /bin/sh /usr/X11R6/etc/xfce4/xinitrc
91660  v0  S      0:15,00 /usr/X11R6/bin/xfce4-panel


Well, I obviously forgot to paste the row "core dumped" in my first 
message, which is the reason why it's not running after starting.
Now I don't have a clue why it's core dumping ...

Any more hints ? :)
Is anyone using an up-to-date xfce ? (Installed from ports today, after 
cvsup the ports today)

hm...

BTW, no interesting posts on the xfce Mailinglist ...

thank you anyway !

best regards,
Marian, who's just missing his upper taskbar ... bloody iconbox ...
