Check if 'xfdesktop' is running, probably it died (check your $HOME/.xsession-errors for details). If it doesn't run, hit ALT-F2, and run it.

Yes, a common Xfce4 problem. The only way to solve the problem is to delete your ~/.config and ~/.cache directories. You will need to redo your Xfce setup. Afterwords, make backups of .config and .cache so that the next time isn't quite so painful.

I also suggest upgrading to the ~arch or SVN versions. I have not experienced this problem since I upgraded.
