I don't think it's XORG for a couple of reasons:

* when I first updated xfce, it didn't update xorg, and it was all
  working fine under xfce4 4.4
* problems don't seem to exist under fluxbox or twm

The main menu off of the panel, which has a default icon of the rodent
over a blue X. By doesn't work, I mean when you click on it nothing
happens.

Looked into portdowngrade, and I may look into that further at some
point. At this point, fluxbox seems to be pretty cool, and seems to be
working.
