One idea is to try a minimalistic window manager as twm to find out if
the issue is related to xfce.

The second idea could be to run apt-get autoremove - but I am not sure
if this is a good idea for a non standard Debian installation. For the
standard installations it is recommended to get rid of outdated
libraries. But since you seem to be a long time Debian user I do not
tell you anything new.
