Tell us about your hardware to begin with
You could post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf too

Whatelse do You need?

[wubuntu]

I think I have found the reason for that problem:

I'm using GNOME Gutsy and XFCE Mint and both have the same /home-partition.
Every time I boot XFCE after using the GNOME-System the problem appears.

Hmm, Could that really be the reason or do I have to search again?
And, could that problem be solved?

[Husse]

I think you may be spot on
I don't know which config files XFCE is using but there may be some that are the same....
Look in .gconf and .gconfd...
