Problem loading Xfce-4.2.0 on Slackware-10.1

[Olivier Fourdan]

g_option_context_new() is in glib since version 2.6 while xfce 4.2 is
targeted at gtk+-2.2.

A grep for "g_option_context_new" in xfce4-sesssion source tree returns
nothing so the erro doesn't come from xfce4-session (neither 4.2 branch
nor trunk).

Since the relocation error occurs in gtk while the symbol is defined in
glib, I think your problem is that you have a mismatch between the gtk
version and the glib version installed on your system, but I don't think
it's an error from Xfce.

HTH
Olivier.
