nope, you just need to create a ~/.xfce directory because that is where xfce puts all
its settings. seems logical that it cannot create a file if the directory doesnt
exist, doesn't it? *grin*
fyi,
there are times when some application's pop-up windows (like the find dialog in
jext and nedit, and the j2me wireless toolkit emulator) shrinks and is unresizable.
the quick fix is exit xfce, and do
rm ~/.xfce/xf*session
and restart xfce.
ciao!
