I am using xfce 4.4.2 on FreeBSD 6.3.  xfprint4 is failing with a memory fault.
Also, I've noticed that when xfprint4-manager displays its dialog, the default
printer is initially highlighted, but then the highlight disappears after a
second or two.  I wonder if the two are related.  The memory fault occurs no
matter how xfprint4 is invoked.

$ xfprint4 --version
	This is xfprint version 4.4.2 for Xfce 4.4.2
	built with GTK+-2.12.8, linked with GTK+-2.12.8.
	Currently it uses the BSD-LPR printing system.
$ xfprint4

... file selection dialog ...
