Sorry I missed this before; I would've responded then.

Well, first thing to try is a) run Xfce as a different user or b)
move/rename your ~/.config folder and run it.  Basically, run it with
a fresh config, sans plugins, etc.

Also, are you using the Composite extension in Xorg?

BTW, I know nothing about that patch and don't use Slackware, so any
specific problems with those are beyond me.
