[gentoo-user] Xfce 4.2.2 taskbar button caption oddity

Recently, I made some changes to my xfce-4.2.2 configuration.
Everything seemed fine until a few days later (this morning) when I
rebooted. Now the taskbar button captions overflow onto the next
button (or even farther) if they don't fit, instead of being cut off
at the button edge, which I am used to (and would prefer). This makes
the text on the following taskbar button(s) almost impossible to read,
so I need to rely on the icon and tooltip just to figure out what
application that happens to be.

I can't remember what settings exactly I changed, but in my attempts
to resolve the situation, I fiddled some with the UI, window manager
and taskbar settings -- with no luck.

Has anyone else experienced this, or can perhaps suggest settings that
would be worth trying fiddling with? It is *very* annoying.

Thanks in advance.

Turns out it almost certainly was a library problem. I got gtk+-2.8.6
as a dependency when installing Inkscape (the ebuild must have been
changed since, now it says >=gtk+-2.4.1), and then noticed that
"emerge -Dpu world" kept wanting to pull back gtk+-2.6.10. When I did,
this problem seems to have disappeared as well.
