XFE in Freebsd10.1 can not be launched as 'root'.

when pressed 'launch as root' icon from XFE, the 'xterm' flashes and closes without showing password entry

    Some macro definitions not perfectly set. Now I have tested 1.41 for use with Hurd and kfreebsd on Debian. You found my patches as attachment. Perhaps that's enough to solve you founded bug.

    Go into source directory and run for each patch:

    pathc -p1 <patchfile

    i installed 'xfe' through freebsd's binary package management 'pkg install'. i didn't compile the source code myself. it seems that user needs to recompile the source code with provided patch to fix the issue, correct?

    This is fixed in Xfe 1.42.
    Thanks for the patch!
