[Solved] desktop in xfce corrupted

I have a big problem with the xfce desktop: Without any reason - apparently - my xfce desktop got corrupted: The windows of the applications lost the maximize, close, reduce options and go over the panel (mine is set to the top), any window starts left top and cannot be moved.  The desktop chooser applet does not work anymore correctly. Although the settings are 4 desktops 2 rows, in the panel appears only one desktop.

Please help me out. I just had this problem before and solved it by a complete new install (i don't want to do that another time ;-) ).

Thanks a lot in advance!

Simply run "xfwm4" in a Terminal or from xfrun (Alt-F2)

Xfce is NOT Xubuntu. Bugs in Xubuntu don't mean that Xfce is buggy ...
