The problem is definitely xfce.  openbox works fine.

I tried enabling/disabling compositor in xfce and no effect.
I also tried removing background image and setting desktop background to solid.

Well- back to openbox for now.  Can't remember why I started using xfce.

Is there any point in filing a bug ? Seems that there should be a lot of people experiencing this problem, and yet, it seems unlikely that it's hardware related.  After all it should be showing up in openbox too if it was.
