xfce hangs, keyboard and mouse not responsive

Hi,

I am using a xfce session and at some times the keys are in responsive and hangs.

I do the following command via ssh to the same host to refresh.

"nohup xfwm4 --replace &"

I am using xfce version 4.8.0 on RHEL 6.7.

can someone please provide the permanent fix for this?

Thank you,
Raj

Version 4.8 is very old. Isn't there a newer version available? I know 4.12 was available for Centos /RHEL 7 and I thought 4.10 at least was in 6.

I am not sure, can someone what are the system requirements to upgrade/install xfce 4.10?

I wanted to install on rhel 6.7.

Thank you,
Raj

From "Does RH support Xfce?":

Customer can install XFCE from source "http://www.xfce.org/download",without any form of support.

For Xubuntu, these specs have been published:

CPU: 500Mhz+
    RAM: 256MiB+ for Desktop/LiveCD - 512MiB recommended
    Hard drive space: 5GB
    Graphics card and monitor capable of 800×600 resolution

I gather most people install from the Centos repos as Centos is built on RHEL. Centos is popular source of packages that RHEL don't supply.
