XFCE4 Unexpected Behavior
==========================
I'd been having an issue with XFCE4 after publishing a phost that contains the
squaring ASCII character ("²"): suddenly, when opening my phost in Lynx 
fragments of text from my home page would appear on the screen. I didn't find 
anything that can solve the problem in the lynx configuration files.
I found that it works fine when running "lynx" from the root account or from 
an "xterm" instead of "xfce4-terminal".
It was obviously a problem with XFCE4.
To solve it I chose Edit->Preferences from the termianls menubar.
Then, I tried the tabs in the open window, until I selected the 
"Compatibility" tab. Guess what? There's a warning there printed in blue on 
white, reading:

  "These options may cause some applications to behave 
   incorrectly. They are only here to allow you to work around
   certain applications and operating systems that expect
   different terminal behavior."

Bingo!
Having read the warning I knew what to do: push the "Reset compatibility 
options to defaults" button.
Problem fixed.
