Filed as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694889 and I
already built the fixed xfce4-settings package.

We had some reports there, however I cannot reproduce them. Might have
something to do with your graphics driver.

I consider this a feature request, please file it upstream at
bugzilla.xfce.org.
