xfce 4.4.2 which is originally supplied with xubuntu 8.10 has problems with latest xrandr (1.2). This problem is fixed in 4.4.3 available from launchpad:

After the update panels works fine, but xfdesktop still crashes… back to Gnome…
1. Vmware Server 2.0 with windows xp 64bit as guest causes the systems to restrart when resuming from standby
2. The system might sometimes restart on XP 64bit startup
3. WinXP 32 bit work like a clock
Added: deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian intrepid non-free
to sources list (see http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads)
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-2.0
Tested the VirtualBox – seems to be faster but less stable then VMWare. The guest was frozen after standby and was not restarting. I’m still keeping the guest files in the backup and the virtualbox installed to follow the updates.
Two main problems:
1. Strange keyboard mappings in Vmware server 2.0. Like arrow down as windows key
Googled and added “xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true” to /etc/vmare/config after which sudo /etc/init.d/vmware restart
2. Rdesktop, tsclient do not connect to windows xp with ERROR: recv: Connection reset by peer – No solution so far
