> Is this problem still reproducible in the final release?

Yes. I just succeeded in reproducing it, see below.

The laptop is used daily and regularly updated.

$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS"

> If yes, does it affect all user accounts?

Yes, the bug affects all user accounts.

All users logging in on xfce session experience this bug. If you create
a fresh account and login on xfce session bug happens.

I provided users a workaround with a .xsession containing these lines
(you can see several fallback options, most were probably never needed,
the "sleep 2" and first "exec" lines would be enough).

$ cat .xsession
#!/bin/bash

{ sleep 2 ; xfwm4 & xfce4-panel ; } &
{ sleep 4 ; xfwm4 & xfce4-panel ; } &
exec xfce4-session
exec gnome-terminal
exec x-session-manager

That workaround was so effective that I even forgot this bug.

Still the bug is real. I just reproduced it by moving away the .xsession
workaround and logging in.

Regards,
