Description:
After updating xfconf with latest updates to 4.18.2 is causing xfwm4 to fail to launch on login to XFCE4 Desktop (using lightdm).
Launching xfwm4 from Terminal show its segfaulting.
Downgrading xfconf removes the issue.

Additional info:
* link to upstream bug: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfconf/-/issues/35

No clue what exactly is the cause, but may possible to revert.

Quiet sure it`s an upstream BUG but reported here to inform.
