[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#469132: xfterm4: Slower desktops switching when an xfterm4 is opened

[KnuX]

Package: xfce4-utils
Version: 4.4.2-4
Severity: normal


Hi all!

I notice that when I have an opened xfterm4 in desktop 1 (for example), when I switch to this desktop from the desktop 2 (fro example too), it takes nearly 2 seconds 
before the desktop appears. If I reduce xfterm4 or close it, the delay disappears.

I tried with a fresh .config directory, same problem.

Here is my terminalrc:
$ cat .config/Terminal/terminalrc
