I have tested the patch submitted by Dave Tyson for x11/xfce4-terminal

"xfce4-terminal uses 100% CPU"

on both DragonFly 3.3-DEVELOPMENT i386 and x86_64, and this patch
corrects the near 100% cpu usage observed when using Terminal(s) in
xfce4.

Please include this patch in upcoming pkgsrc-2012Q4 and possibly
backport to pkgsrc-2012Q3.  It is the difference between usable xfce4
on at least DragonFly, and according to Dave Tyson, NetBSD 6 as well.

The source is DragonFly master through

This is a pretty interesting patch for both DragonFly and NetBSD. I am not set up to evaluate XFCE4 right now, I can only take Dave's and David's recommendation that it should be applied.

In any case, if this patch works as advertised, it would be a pull-up candidate. Is there somebody more equipped to test this patch?
