That was me. Raised the level up, and it still didn't work. That was
on debootstrapped base Jessie with xfce4 chaser. I left it for later
and installed a few more favorite things hoping that might
accidentally fix it. Nope, still didn't work.

Then stumbled on xfce4-goodies that would have meant not having to
install a few of those earlier things. Slider was back at [zero] so I
moved it over again and...... *It works!*

What I hoped would happen actually did. Something I installed further
into the initial setup toggled something, tickled just the right file
somewhere. I've looked a couple times at everything that came with
xfce4-goodies (via /var/log/apt/history.log) but haven't seen anything
that popped off the screen yet as the (hero) fixer.....
