Created attachment 2260 note that the arrows overlap the icons In the launcher component, when it contains multiple programs, the arrow to show more programs overlaps the program icon itself. Arrows sould appear along the bottom edge instead? May be a collision with GTK version 2.16.0, as the bug surfaced after updating that. Using style: Xfce-4.4
Created attachment 2261 Possible fix It seems indeed to be related to GTK 2.16. This versions introduces the GtkOrientable interface which makes the whole XfceHVBox class more or less useless. The patch adjusts the code to just use the GtkOrientable API on GTK 2.16 and use the old code on prior versions. Not sure whether this is the best approach but it actually fixes the reported problem on GTK 2.16.
Patch is ok. Committed in revision 29737.
