I have this issue for both xfce4-appfinder and xfrun4 on a fresh install of Xubuntu 14.04 amd64 on a Thinkpad W510 with nvidia binaries. Running them with --disable-server makes start times instantaneous. Otherwise, there's an unbearable 10-20 sec delay, and sometimes multiple zombie instances running simultaneously.

Bug #1314782 (multimedia keys don't work when xfce4-volumed is run in daemon mode) might be the ultimate fix for all of this, assuming that patch can be applied to more than just xfce4-volumed. Seems like it's some kind of race condition, or forking of processes in the wrong order. Something like that.
