Hi,

I was skimming upstream commits, to try to see if there is something
that could affect us. Sometimes this gives hints and solutions some
others it does not.

While this is a complex issue and it's difficult to find a fix without
specific knowledge, I noticed a recent commit [1] that maybe could help.

This is a shot in the dark, but worth a try, so, someone affected should
apply the patch at [2] to x11-wm/xfce4-wm and report back. I only tested
this patch in poudriere and it compiles.

Thanks in advance.
