My XFCE desktop is just flat black when it was previously showing the stock arch background image. I also can't right click on the desktop area to bring up the XFCE menu that appears by default. Everything else runs just fine.
I'm about to go file a bug report but I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't any other information I need to put in as while I'm proficient with Arch, I'm coding illiterate.
EDIT: Due to a total mindfart, I posted this in the wrong forum... I'm terribly sorry, but could one of you mods move this to the DeskEnvironment forum?

xfdesktop is not starting. Try starting it manually, and if that works then try deleting the stuff for Xfce4 in ~/.cache which is the sessions and xfce4 folders. I had a similar problem except with Xfwm4 not starting.
If xfdesktop spits out errors when attempting to start it that prevent it from loading then post them here.

Yup. That fixed it right up. Had to delete the insides of .cache. Thanks a bunch!
