I've been using xfce (and xfce4) for many years. Perhaps something in
an old configuration is causing this? I'll try removing all config and
see what happens.

Strangely xfce-settings-show is not found. I can run the settings
dialog from the root menu. The Default keybindings is the only one
that is shown. If I try to create a new one, the directory appears
in .themes but the keybinding won't change. It always reverts to
what's in Default.

The strangest thing in .xsession-errors is:
Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate loadable module in module_path:
"libxfce.so",
especially considering:
bertbob@dusty:~$ locate libxfce.so
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines/libxfce.so
