I haven't investigated the situation, but in general it is better to use aptitude rather then apt-get if you encounter such problems, because aptitude is much more verbose about unmet dependencies and can try to resolve them interactively. Looking at packages.debian.org, xfce4-systemload-plugin depends on libxfce4util4 (>= 4.4.1) and libxfcegui4-4 (>= 4.4.1) and has not been upgraded since June 2007, so you probably have put some package on hold or something like that.
