Pointers to xfce4 help

[Rich Shepard]

  I upgraded my notebook to Slackware-9.1 and it installed xfce4 for me.
However, all I get is a greyish-blue main window, a grey bar across the top
and a message box in the center that reads, "A crash occurred in the panel.
please report this to the xfce4-dev at moongroup.com list. Meanwhile, the panel
will be restarted."

  But, the "busy" cursor remains and there she sits.

  I'm sure it's a config error or something I hadn't had to deal with in
xfce-2 or -3. Where do I start reading?

TIA,

Rich
