            I had similar problems on this desktop and received the
            following advice:

            "all configuration for xfce4 is in ~/.config, mainly
            ~/.config/xfce4.
            backup that, delete it and run xfce again. if it runs, you
            can try putting
            back that directory and play with files in there or you can
            just create new
            settings."

            I believe it was deleting .config/xfce4/mcs_settings that
            restored operation. I had to reconfigure things afterward
            and have not run into the problem again although it did
            happen twice!
