Bug#607968: [Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#607968: xfce4-panel: xfce-panel appears as normal window
Yves-Alexis, Sorry I might have misunderstood the output and gotten the versions mixed up. I think I turned on backports at some point to correct a security bug in iceweasel, it must have propagated as my logs show in update in September to 4.6.1: Preparing to replace libxfce4util4 4.4.2-3 (using .../libxfce4util4_4.6.1-1~bpo50+1_amd64.deb) Is it easy to test? How would I do it, ie. revert all the packages so that dependencies are captured correctly? Where do I report the results?

Thanks to Yves-Alexis this bug has been fixed. Thank you Yves-Alexis. I appreciate a summary of the steps needed to solve a bug. Therefore, I thought I would provide a quick summary for someone who stumbles across this bug of the general fix. Overview: Bug in xfce4-panel 4.4.2-6 with libglib corrected by upgrading xfce4-panel Solution Summary: 1. Set xfce4-panel to use backports 1a. follow instructions here: http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ 1b. Update apt: apt-get update 1c. Execute update: aptitude -t lenny-backports install xfce4-panel 1d. Note this only works if the backport version is newer than the normal package version 2. Verify xfce4-panel upgrade by checking the policy information: 2a. apt-cache policy xfce4-panel 3. Log-out and log back in for xfce4 to register the update Note: Once the command in step 1c has run, the normal apt-get update, apt-get upgrade sequence will install the latest xfce4-panel in backports.

Regards, As far as I can tell, if you don't apply patches, glib = 2.23.1 combined with xfce 4.6.2 results in this error. [1] I can say with certainty that 4.4.2-6 and glib 2.24.2 results in the panel getting window decorations, and that applying this patch [2] returns it to what you would expect. Fortunately, this will only cause problems if people are using a mix of packages from backports and stable (specifically, glib from backports, and xfce from stable) so the existing solution of upgrading to xfce from backports is still valid. -Paul [1] http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6110 [2] http://bugzilla.xfce.org/attachment.cgi?id=2759 -- Paul Dickey Computer Aided Engineering - UW Madison pdic...@cae.wisc.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#607968: xfce4-panel: xfce-panel appears as normal window
Package: xfce4-panel Version: 4.4.2-6 Severity: normal Following update of machine and reboot the XFCE4-panel shows up as a normal window with buttons for maximize, close, minimize, etc. This behavior is very annoying as the panel content then shifts behind open programs which are maximized. Suggested problem source is a libglib update. I confirmed that I updated libglib before the last shutdown. Updated from libglib2.0-0 2.22.4-1~bpo50+1 Updated to libglib2.0-0_2.24.2-1~bpo50+1_amd64.deb Attempts to update xfce4 to correct problem, fail because the most current version in the repository is already installed.
