Sorry - can't help you there.Never used it and at the moment I got gentoo with
gnome 2.4 on this box which is slightly screwed up anyway.
You could try to run xfwm4 directly from the login w/o gnome and see what
happens.There seems to be a lot of different things breaking with different
distros with all that gtk1/2 migration.

Sorry,
