I had a couple of problems like this recently, this morning, a couple of hours
ago and it is because of the theme I was trying to use.  One problem was
syntax and the other is because the theme engine was not correct.   ( The
latter crashed the system and dumped core but that is not a XFce
problem/theme. )

This:

> > 1319(g_object_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

is almost the same as this(from my .xsession-errors file):
GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1337 (g_object_unref):
assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

which was caused by a syntax problem in the theme:
/usr/share/themes/Xfce-Redmondxp/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:43: error: unexpected
identifier `TRUE', expected keyword

It needed to be "true" in the funklor and Redmondxp themes.

Does Gerardo's  problem happen with any/all the themes?
If that is a terrible idea, all I can say is "goodnight".

Oh and BTW, I had problems with programs crashing because of fontconfig -
"could not find Arial 10" or some such BS.  Many aps would just try to run and
eventually time out.  I did not get to test Beta1 at all because of it.  It
was probably just me but after I removed fontconfig, the problem went away as
mysteriously as it appeared.


goodnight, :o(yawn)
