apparently LP ate my previous comment? The cursor.theme file shipped by human-cursors-theme that is installed in /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme lacks a Directory= entry as requested by the fdo icon theme spec. This makes the whole Xfce desktop crash. It should be more resilient and needs fixing to be 'liberal in what it accepts' but the cursor theme file need fixing as well. Just an empty Directories= appended suffices to keep xfce from crashing.
