That doesn't look at all related to xfce4-session. The desktop is
supposedly rendered by xfdesktop4, so you might want to investigate
there, but without knowing what actually changed during that update,
it's impossible to investigate.

Also, xfce4-session 4.10.1-10 is in sid since Jan 11 and testing since
Jan 17 so either your don't upgrade regularly, or it's something else.
