That's unknown until the solution is known.  If this is not the place to 
ask about a broken component of xfce4, for _whatever_ reason it may be 
broken, what is?  Still, apparently no-one here had the answer.

So I posed the question on debian-user, and the _first_ response provided 
the answer.  Go figure.
