I have an odd problem with a particular left-handed user with the xfce desktop in f16 - the machine is running x86_64 f16 fully up to date - one user out of several on the machine needs to have the mouse set to left-handed and all users are running xfce as the desktop.
Everything works beautifully including for all users including the user with the mouse set to left-handed until the machine is rebooted - then for all right-handed users there is no problem after a reboot - but on the first login after rebooting to the new kernel gives strange mouse behaviour only for the left-handed user, and a right click (i.e. a left click for a right-handed typical user) on the logout icon in the panel ( green running man icon ) does not respond to give the logout options - a series of clicks onto Applications menu options gives a logout but the logout only occurs when clicking on the cancel button - after logging our and then logging back in all is well and there is no issue at all - until the next time the machine is rebooted, and the same thing happens just on the first login after rebooting.
This has only happened with f16 - previously the machine was running f14. On a different machine also running f16 but with i686 the same issue occurs for the left-handed user and not for right-handed users - so it would seem an issue somewhere in xfce but I don't know where, or how to confirm this?
This problem does not occur for any other user (all others have right-handed mouse).
I don't know what component to file a bugzilla report under for this.
I would appreciate it is someone could point to a procedure to find more diagnosis info to add to a report, and also what component I should report this under.
It is possible that very few left handed xfce users are out there and hitting this problem, but I would like to find a resolution to this issue.
Thanks for any help.

Try the Xfce list, cwikert is pretty good on Xfce.

OK thanks - I will do that.
