Description:

After the last update (2010-apr-01), xfce4-panel breaks and starts displaying borders and title bar. I've found a somewhat relevant (if older) ubuntu discussion of the similar bug due to glib update, but xfce4-panel 4.6.3 (already installed) should have fixed that; it's still possible that it's the glib/2 regression:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-panel/+bug/503633
http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6117

Here's the list of packages affected by *downgrade* process which brought things back to normal; there was a problematic package among them (by the PKGBUILD changes, it seems that it is not xfce4-settings; rebuilding it doesn't fix the problem, but due to dependencies, I have no idea if maybe that's the problem):

try at least to rebuild it to see if is fixing your problem.
Comment by Einar Lielmanis (spic) - Friday, 02 April 2010, 23:07 GMT
Rebuild what exactly? As I mentioned, rebuilding xfce4-settings didn't help anything; building xfce4-panel didn't change anything as well.
Comment by Andreas Radke (AndyRTR) - Saturday, 03 April 2010, 10:58 GMT
I can't confirm it. All my testing repo Xfce installations look ok like before. He probably meant to rebuild the xfce4-panel pkg. Please try to also use a different theme.

Why did I assume that all those pacman dependencies were glib2-based and didn't try to locate the exact package? Boo.

Looked again, and the problem is solely due to the glib2: 2.24.0-1 shows the taskbar, with 2.22.5 everything is correct.

I'm running 64-bit arch linux, and am starting X directly through startx in inittab (x:5:once:/bin/su e -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c 'ssh-agent startx'") and launching xfce in my ~/.xinitrc with "ck-launch-session startxfce4". Absolutely new and clean profile didn't change anything: the default xfce desktop shows the titlebar/border as well.

Rebuilding xfce4-panel or glib2 doesn't change anything.

...trying to reproduce on a virtualbox install. without success for now, though.

Found the culprit, it was a weird, obsolete and leftover /usr/lib/gio/modules/libexo* library. You can close this as invalid.
