a search of the mailing list archives would likely also yield several 
posts remarking that that's a warning (not an error!) generated by 
librsvg.  it's harmless.  if you really want it to go away, update 
librsvg.  don't bother with a terminal; just run xfdesktop from the run 
dialog (alt+f2 unless you've changed it).

and that warning certainly isn't preventing the background & from 
working.  if you want to disconnect the app from the terminal, you need 
to run "nohup xfdesktop &".
