Unhappy Xubuntu 8.10 Desktop Disfunctionality


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
Hi, I just switched to Xubuntu 8.10 and from the install I have not been able to highlight anything on the desktop or scroll on the desktop (to switch to other virtual desktops). As of late I also cannot left click to start programs (I can to drag and drop). Any ideas?

I'm unsure of the Ubuntu set up of XFCE, but here is the guide that you may need:
