xfce4 no panel menu, desktop background or icons after update

Hi all,

After updating this morning, my xfce system is broken: no panel menu, right click for panel menu does not work, desktop background is black with no icons.

I can't seem to find any errors in the logs. I changed inittab to boot into console instead of slim, did 'startx > errors.txt' but nothing in the errors.txt file.

It's strange, all the other icons appear on the panel, including system tray stuff-why has the menu/background/desktop-icons stuff failed.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this.

I fixed it by using this command

ln -s /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.7.0.0 /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62

from this thread

As a temporary solution I think it's okay. But I guess you might want to revoke it, when it gets fixed.
