Setup is a MacBook Pro with Arch running on Parallels.
Everything seems to work fine until I reboot the VM. Thunar, terminator, firefox and most others cease launching. However, dmenu and most xfce4 applications (e.g. settings, logout, panel) still launch.
If I reinstall xorg-server and relaunch it without rebooting everything goes back to normal.

For posterity:
It was in the service
prl-x11
which is installed as part of parallels tools.
Manifested as:
# /var/log/Xorg.0.log
> (II) Initializing extension GLX
> (II) PRL-GLX: Compiled for 1.20.0 XServer
> (WW) PRL-GLX: Can't load PrlCtlCreateGLXDrawable function: /usr/lib/Xorg: undefined symbol: PrlCtlCreateGLXDrawable
> (EE) PRL-GLX: Can't load needed external symbols!
> (EE) PRL-GLX: Can't initialize GLX screen
> (EE) PRL-GLX: Can't register GLX extension
Haven't investigated much deeper. Disabling the service with systemctl is good enough for the ladies I date.
