Since it has been two days with no response, and this kind of reminds
me of a problem I had several months back (but who knows if it is
related, thread at
<http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2011-December/thread.html#411240>),

Can the user log in non-X11 via ssh or on a virtual console? How about
logging in from a different box?

How about xfwm4?

Are other users blocked on the one box or all over the network?

Have you tried the brutal method of deleting the caches or the xfce state?
