[Solved] xfdesktop crashes X.org server on quit

Posted this on Arch Linux forums and was told to ask here.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=115357

Lately my X server started crashing whenever I logged out of XFCE.  By killing off applications one by one I narrowed it down to xfdesktop.  It's always reproducible.  Happens both with open source Radeon driver and with VESA driver.  Anyone else seeing this or know of a solution?

xorg-server 1.10.0-1
xfdesktop 4.8.1-2

From log:

Also reported in the bug tracker: http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7442 but both your and the reports' backtrace aren't very helpful.

I take it you have not been able to reproduce with X.org server 1.10?

Not a proper fix tho, we need to set the background on the X rootwindow for fake transparent apps, however, better no fake transparency then crashing X, so it will do for now.

I saw that it had been fixed on the Arch forum last night and installed xfdesktop again.  Thank you!
