xfdesktop segfaults on right click

Hello,

I have just installed Xubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) with its xfce version 4.4.1 (Xfce 4.4).
Right after the installation everything worked fine. I could open the menu when right-clicking on the desktop, set a wallpaper and everything. But suddenly, I lost the right-click menu. I figured I had somehow messed up my configuration, so I changed the wallpaper back to a standard one but it did not help.
Then I created a new user and logged on with that one, and I could use the right-click menu again. But only for some time, then it would not appear anymore. I found out that xfdesktop is responsible and it was not running anymore, so I started it from a terminal. Thus, I noticed, that exactly in the moment I do a right-click on the desktop, xfdesktop segfaults.

meike@wicked:~$ xfdesktop
Segmentation fault (core dumped)  # This happens when I do a right-click on the desktop
meike@wicked:~$

I have deleted my xfdesktop configuration:

meike@wicked:~$ ls -la .config/xfce4/desktop
total 8
drwx------  2 meike meike 4096 2008-01-13 21:35 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 meike meike 4096 2008-01-13 21:35 ..
meike@wicked:~$

But I still can't get xfdesktop to survive a right-click and show me the menu.

This is a strace xfdesktop from the moment on I do a right-click:

Do you have any idea what I can do to debug this error?

Re: xfdesktop segfaults on right click

I am having the same problem aswell.

I've googled around and found some things that were similar, though I've found no actual solid fix for it.
