Please do not forget that Xubuntu has been put together with a lot of
voluntary work. Unfortunately there still are not many users who tested
Xubuntu before it was released, so receiving feedback was difficult.

Bugs exist, and they will always do so. Why don't you point the developers
of Xfce nicely at this bug and hopefully they will have the time and mood to
solve it.

Surely your input is heard, and will be taken into account for the Feisty
Fawn release.
