Xfce4 on 8.0 RC2

[Alex Huth-3]

Hi!

Is anyone running this combination? I am having trouble with two points>

1. When i close a ssh connection in a terminal, the prompt does not come back.
I have to close the tab. Without X the connections are ok and i had Debian
lenny earlier on the laptop also with Xfce4. There was everything ok.

2. When switching between the desktops i have to wait up to 3 seconds before
it is done, depending on what app there is running. For example:

Desk1: Terminal with several tabs
Desk2: firefox35
Desk3: Openoffice3 calc
Desk4: atunes

Desk1 --> Desk2 ok
Desk2 --> Desk3 ok
Desk1 --> Desk4 3 sec
Desk4 --> Desk1 3 sec
Desk2 --> Desk1 3 sec

I am running it on Dell Latitude E6500 with 4GB Ram. Any idea?

thx

Alex

Yes.  xfce4-4.6.1, 8.0-RC2 (i386) as of Monday.

No problems with ssh here, but that's with multiple Terminal windows
rather than multiple tabs in one Terminal window.

Sorry, I don't use multiple desktops.

Since a couple days.


Both points work perfectly fine for me.
It sounds to me like a video driver/xorg problem though :/

How are you logging out of your ssh sessions? Is this using xterm or
the XFCE terminal app? Try it with xterm and see what happens.
Personally, try using rxvt-unicode as it allows most of the "mods",
just no tabs.

This sounds like a graphics driver issue and the screen redraw rate?
What video card are you using and what X driver? Did you turn on
compositing mode?
