Xfce 100% CPU usage at boot

I recently did a fresh netinstall of Xfce Arch on my laptop and I get 100% CPU usage at boot. I have laptop-mode-tools installed (with default settings) and cpufrequtils with the conservative governor loaded at boot (although it still loads ondemand for some reason.). I had been running Openbox on this thing before hand without this problem. I'm positive this isn't a hardware issue because I dual boot Windows 7 and that's fine. It's a Compaq Presario CQ56 single core AMD processor with the proprietary ATI driver installed (catalyst-utils and catalyst-daemon.) and 2 GiBs RAM with a 1 GiB Swap space. I've never had this problem with Arch before, so I'm not sure how to trouble shoot this issue, but I generated a report with the hardinfo app and here's my results if it helps:

My CPU goes down after a few minutes of my notification area flickering, but the question is, is this normal for Xfce (it's been a while since I've used it) and have I just been spoiled by using a stand alone window manager, or did I miss a step during installation?
