xfce Segmentation fault on startup

i have xfce installed on a ubuntu-eee distribution running on my 4G eee701. i have been able to run xfce before, but haven't rebooted in a few days, so i think something i've done in that time has caused a problem.

my .xsession-errors contains the following when i try to start an xfce session:

/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
Setting IM through im-switch for locale=en_US.
Start IM through /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL linked to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default.

Re: xfce Segmentation fault on startup

i was able to work around this segfault by renaming my config directory as was suggested in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-397346.html
