Hi,

That's not a bug in xfce, you're missing the XShape extension in your X
server. 

Make sure you load the "extmod" module in your /etc/X11/XF86Config :

Section "Module"
        Load  "extmod"
        Load  "glx"
EndSection
                                                                                Cheers,
Olivier.
