For current Xfce4 on other Linux distros deleting the cache only does
solve some issues. There's much more broken for current Linux (perhaps
at the moment not for Debian, but for other Distros that already follow
upstream dictatorship), not only Xfce4 is borked. I keep Linux, but I
also take a look at BSD and at Linux solutions without X, DBUS, systemd
and all that crap hat at the moment at least slows down performance.
YMMV!
