It's not that had to report a bug:

* Set your compile flags to -O0
* Compile xfdesktop with debug (./autogen.sh --prefix=...
--enable-debug=yes && make && make install)
* Download gdb from your distro
* Run "gdb xfdesktop" inside a terminal > type "run" > xfdesktop will
start and then crash inside gdb > type "bt" > a backtrace report is
created, copy all the info printed by gdb inside a text file

Next, create bug @ bugzilla:
* Go here: http://bugzilla.xfce.org/createaccount.cgi and create an account
* You'll receive an email.. with password etc.. login to bugzilla.
* Go to here: http://bugzilla.xfce.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Xfce&format=guided
* Fill the form with all info, component xfdesktop, your gtk and glib
version, etc.
* Press the submit button
* You will be send to your new bug, click the "add attachment" link
and attach the gdb backtrace.
* Done and wait for Brain to respond :-).

Easy isn't it?

Greets,
Nick
