Problems under Xfce

As reported by bison on Amigaworld.net (https://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=43751&start=40&post_id=833644&order=0&viewmode=flat&pid=833634&forum=42#833637)

tried the media player with LM 19.3 MATE, and it worked as expected. LM 19.3 Xfce (clean boot from ISO) does not -- the menubar displays, but the menu items will not activate. Same problem with fluxbox and openbox. Xfce does work if I kill xfwm4 and replace it with marco wm, so apparently marco provides some service that xfwm4, openbox, and fluxbox do not.

I've seen things like this before. For example, the Chromium bookmarks toolbar uses floating menus so that they can extend above the toolbar if there are too many entries in them, and some window managers open them in unexpected places, or not at all.
