Should look at your xfce4 autostart apps, be certain Nautilus is always
run using --nodesktop while using xfce4 as Nautilus will try to load the
desktop as well as xfce4. Look for a bad user selected option - like turn
off Gnome support, etc. There's a config issue likely wrong on your
desktop.

Incompatibility? Dunno as I use xfce4 exclusively with 2.6.17-10-generic.
Although there was a problem the last day or so with kernels which I fixed
using "aptitude dist-upgrade" BEFORE rebooting - this is a handy CLI app
to see what's up, etc.
Here's a clip of the errors:

To remove, I know of no simplier way, start Synaptic, go to history,
search for xfce4, copy and paste the list and start doing "complete
remove" ... get some coffee .
