I did post to the Xfce users list and the developers, Benedikt Meurer
and Brian Tarricone, were kind enough to give me some pointers.
Unfortunately, I still can't diagnose the slow starting of Xterm.
After a lot of googling, I found that this is a not a common problem
and I have to conclude that I may indeed have something misconfigured.
I did switch to a light weight window manager, Qlwm, and the slow
starting of the Xterms is no longer a problem.
At any rate I have my own port (GSL) that needs further testing before
I submit it. Maybe when that is done I can return to this problem.
After all, Xfce is a really nice desktop.
Kind regards,
Jon
