Re: xfce4 problem
Sounds like several things might be going on. To move a window hold down the Alt button and grab/move with the left button of your mouse. Check your Applications>Settings>Display for the proper Resolution. You can get to this with a right click on the desktop if you cannot see the Panel. For the window buttons the settings is in Applications>Settings>Window Manager, I prefer Wallis, to each his own.
Re: xfce4 problem
Open a terminal and typethe window buttons are gone.
Code: Select all
xfwm4 --replace &
