I recently had the exact same problem on one of my FreeBSD machines
and for the life of me,   I could not figure out what was going on.  I
was also using packages built on another machine.  I cleared out
everything in ~/.config, ~/.cache, and nothing fixed it.  I found that
same bug report but it didn't really help.  So, I rebuilt all my xfce4
ports on the problem machine and the issue magically disappeared.  Go
figure.  :-)
