Not sure where exactly, but the changes you have to make have been posted here before.

edit: yupp, not that easy to find. The long story is -> here <- I think, can't find the short solution atm. And there are a few "xfce only problem"-threads on this - good luck!

Are you sure you're running xfce4-session? I had that same error when I accidentally killed that process.

Make sure that slim is running the command:

exec ck-launch-session xfce4-session

rather than the old startxfce4
