XFDesktop Segfault

[Brian J. Tarricone]

well, it is... as you might guess... at times not finding the menu file 
or the regged categories file, which is odd, since they're installed to 
a system location (but you can copy them to a user location to edit 
them).  do you have the files $sysconfdir/xdg/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml and 
$sysconfdir/xdg/xfce4/desktop/xfce-registered-categories.xml?  if not, 
you have an installation problem, otherwise, there's something wrong 
with my code that looks for the files.
