I had the bug crop up every week or so, until I did the following:
a) Do not boot up with external LCD conected.
Connect the LCD after you are on the desktop, and then use "xrandr --output
VGA-0 --auto --outout LVDS off" followed by "xrandr --output LVDS --auto
--left-of VGA-0" sh
I use ext2 for / and ext3 for /home, so the filesystem does not seem to
be the culprit here.
By the way, over the course of the past months, I have noted that the problem
seems to pop up mostly when I am booting with an external monitor connected to
my netbook.

I had the same problem, and used the workaround. After some time, the
problem came back. I now get ~6 instances of xfdesktop at startup. I
attached the xfce4-verbose log to this post.
I'll leave the system 'as is' for some time ( using num=`ps x | grep
'xfdesktop' | wc | cut -c 4-8`; num=$(( ${num
