Hello !
I have recently switched from KDE to Xfce after an unpleasant encounter
with KDE4, and I'm happy I switched: KDE feels like an elephant whereas
Xfce feels like a dragonfly, in look'n'feel and speed: it's lean and
elegant.
I'm intrigued though by a quirk: some icons disappear from toolbars

Flickr sometimes doesn't load on iceweasel, has anybody seen this ?

I've just moved from OSS to ALSA, and gxine doesn't generate sound anymore.
Mixer settings are Ok because I can play CDs with xmms or cdplay without

When I try to play streaming audio, gxine connects to the server but doesn't
generate sound

Why don't you try vim ? It comes out-of-the-box with a plugin that
decompresses gzipped files on the fly.

the dependencies 6.9.0.dfsg.1-1 and not 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11, as I expec

Here's the scenario. I configured mutt to compose mails with "gvim --remote".
I start gvim. I start mutt and ask to compose a mail. A new buffer is created
in the currently running gvim. Its window should be raised and gain foc
