Are you using xfce4-weather-plugin ?
If yes, that's the problem. There is a bug in it which reveals itself
with glib 2.10. As a workaround you can launch xfce4-panel as it:

G_SLICE=always-malloc xfce4-panel

Or disable the xfce4-weather-plugin until the bug is found

just curious, but why running os-cillation packages ?
