I didn't experience any problems with Xorg 7.5 and Xfce4 on 8.0-STABLE.

Try renaming your ~/.config/xfce4 and ~/.config/xfce4-session to 
something else and see if that allows you to use your desktop again. 
I've also seen a case where the culprit was /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- if you 
have autogenerated xorg.conf, try generating it again, or try removing 
stuff from it until it starts working. (If it does start working, of 
course.)
