The culprit is the weather plugin.

The G_SLICE solution didn't work, but since I so seldom shut down the X 
server I simply removed the weather plugin, restarted Xfce4 and 
re-installed the plugin.  Funny that that the plugin will work on a 
running Panel with no problem.

Thanks for you assistance.
