I experienced the problem with the Software Update Program window in FC15 with Gnome on my laptop.  This was prior to any use of XFCE, and was one of the reasons that I tried XFCE.  I haven't tried the Updater since the switch, but if it's still there, I would not be able to blame XFCE for it.  I haven't checked the other behaviors, but will.
