Xfdesktop issues

Hello all,

Recently, every time I start xfdesktop it basically sits there and eats up every bit of RAM and CPU that my computer has. I'm currently running Arch Linux with xfce4.8 and xfdesktop 4.8.3 on a Dell Latitude D830. This only started recently, so I'm thinking it might be something with the 4.8.3 release.

If I try running xfdesktop from a terminal, I get the following error messages followed by my computer slowing down so much that the mouse pointer lags until I kill xfdesktop:

xfdesktop[23728]: starting up

(xfdesktop:23728): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_uint: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_UINT (value)' failed

(with the last message repeated multiple times)

Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this?
