I'm not sure exactly what causes XFCE to break, but gtk+ is broken with jpeg-7 and causes other apps like gqview to be screwed up as well. There's a patch on the gtk+ bugzilla that fixes it. If XFCE uses gtk+ that might be the cause. Recompiling all of XFCE might fix it, too. I see... thanks... I'm so lazy I've sort of gotten to liking no background wallpaper... I imagine stuff will eventually start working again with future updates... maybe I'll be ready for wallpaper again by then.

I use XFCE on my laptop which I haven't used since jpeg-7 stuff came down the pipe. I may try it again tonight and see if I can make the problem go away. I'll let you know if I can find any solution.
