The problem is that this shared library is needed but cannot be found. 
It belongs to the libxfce4mcs package, which you must have installed. 
But for current svn (and beta2 also I believe), the library version 
number is libxfce4mcs-client.so.3. So could it be that you mixed old 
(4.2) and new (4.4) installations of xfce? If so, that will cause 
trouble. You should remove any old xfce components from your system 
before installing the new version.
