But I'd probably need to see how they built Sylpheed, like if they used GTK or whatever. I glanced at the source for 60 seconds and nothing popped out. I'm using KDE. I used to only use Xfce, I cannot remember why I switched to KDE but i've been using that on everything. On this machine I've only installed pkg. I'm pretty sure the Xorg 'pos' bug was discovered and fixed in August 2016, and this version probably does not have that fix. This is obviously compositing, I'd have to research where to turn that off to see if it makes a difference. But maybe it's OK to wait for a new Xorg version. --- Waitman Gobble
