7 That's where I usually see this sort of question (and it usually yields a

22 I see the taskbar issue, but couldn't see the Qt issue. Of course, I'm a
23 KDE user, not an XFCE user, so maybe that's it. In any case, I don't
24 have any suggestions altho I can certainly see how you'd be frustrated
25 with the taskbar as it is. Someone else may be of help, as there are
26 several XFCE users here I believe, but pointing you to the desktop
27 group/list is the best I can do with it.
