We must wait for upgrade made by maintainer, but you can use patches.

Pavel, are you able to run your xfce session with startx command ?

1. In /etc/ttys (line beginning by ttyv8), replace 'on' by 'off',
reboot your computer.
2. if in your $HOME directory, .xinitrc (or .xsession) file doesn't
exist, copy it from /usr/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/.
3. create also .xsession (ln -sf ~/.xinitrc ~/.xsession)
4. finally, run 'startx' command, a file called .xsession-errors will appear

Look at warning and errors.
