Do you mean xfdesktop -reload? That's how I can trigger at least one
leak here. Another leak seems to occur sometimes when I use hotplug
storage devices (USB, Firewire) and/or optical disks (CDs, DVDs). I
have thunar-volman and its automount enabled. Both xfdesktop and the
menu panel plugin leak in this case.
