The signal handler stuff in libxfce4util is new for 4.6, so make sure
that xfdesktop isn't trying to use the 4.4 libxfce4util.
If you're trying to have both 4.4 and 4.6 installed at the same time,
you will need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for one of them. If you're not,
I'd recommend removing 4.4, as this would make stuff much easier for
you.
