Good evening,
FreeBSD 10-STABLE, x64. NVidia GTX-660, 340.46.
Xfce4 has a weird behaviour that is common between two different machines on completely different hardware. So in my simplistic logic, it seems to be an issue within Xfce. I am looking for a workaround.
When I use Thunar it occasionally just locks up, and I can't see files in directories. Sometimes it happens when I am simply navigating a directory tree. When I use the XFE file manager, no such hang occurs.
Various dialog boxes will also hang, example: Thunderbird, create an email, then attempt to put an attachment on it; the resulting dialog box to select your attachment hangs. Diffuse (a GUI diff application) also has the same behaviour when the dialog opens for you to choose your file(s) for comparison.
I see several posts here that are all around my issue, but not specifically my issue, as best I see. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look? What I am missing? How do I get around this?
One machine is a Gigabyte Desktop, the other is an Asus laptop. I see the same behaviour in both.
Help as always, will be appreciated!
Sincerely and respectfully,
Dave
