[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#323857: xfce4-panel: Panel buttons with a menu break sawfish if the menu is popped up

Hello Christian.

I've only had this reported to me with sawfish and I can't reproduce it
with kwin so I think this is a sawfish bug.  (i.e. if I do pkill xfwm4
&& (kwin || xfwm4) & the bug does not occur).

I don't however want to play bug pingpong so please accept this bug and
move it over.

Ta.
