Circular dependency: a dependency chain where package A depends on
package B, and package B depends on package A, possibly with other
packages in the middle.  This is not the case here.  Neither Thunar nor
any of its dependencies depend on any part of xfdesktop.

If xfdesktop is built before Thunar is installed, it will build fine,
but you won't get file/launcher icons.  If Thunar is installed before
you build xfdesktop, you do get them.  There is absolutely no need to
rebuild Thunar after building xfdesktop.
