I am Presently using LM 7.2 with extras.
Since LM 7.1 I have had this problem as well and have asked and
seen asked dozens of times both on the XFCE and the Mandrake Lists
a simple straight forward solution to the problem. Many and believe me
MANY people have responded to this with a multitude of methods, few
have voiced success though there has been the occasional victory.
However for me personally nothing has EVER worked. Perhaps Mandrakesoft
could work more closely with Oliver who lives and works in France?
This is a fine WindowManager and should be treated as such. Some have even thought
icewm was xfce because of Mandrakes paticular style of configuration.
I always end up putting an .xinitrc file for each user who uses xfce into
their home directory and going the startx route. Though AutoLogin as primary
user works too. Sorry this doesnt answer your question but I have spent MANY hours
following up on solutions from helpful and knowledgable individuals and with
several years of Linux/Mandrake/XFCE use I still can't make it work right!!!
Maybe you will be one of the Lucky Ones :)
Good Luck
