I built the source package available here:
http://www.xfce.org/archive/xfce-4.4.2/src/xfdesktop-4.4.2.tar.bz2
... and it works fine for me. desktop_menuspec_path_free() is defined
in xfdesktop-4.4.2/modules/menu/desktop-menuspec.c, line 631.
If you're using any custom patches to xfdesktop, that's probably your
problem. Otherwise, I have no idea.
