Both OSX 10.4.11 and XFCE 14 seem to have problems loading the Gmail page . . . .

In XFCE all I had to do was open "window manager" and check the "enable compositing" box and I was good to go.  Going through the numerous apps that might relate to window management in LXDE doesn't show anything like that.
