I've just fired up 4 vanilla VMs:

10.3-RELEASE i386
10.3-RELEASE amd64
11.0-RELEASE i386
11.0-RELEASE amd64

I've installed x11/xorg, x11-wm/xfce4 from package and installed
xfce4-generic-slider in a new, fresh xfce4 profile and an empty $HOME.

xfce4-generic-slider would run as expected without crashing.

When I've started the 4 VM's with my live $HOME, the slider would crash
all the time.

There must be a setting from previous xfce4 versions in my homedir
that's causing these crashes. I haven't figured out what exactly but
since working with a clean, fresh setup doesn't cause these crashes I
am going to revert the deprecation.
