Download the xfce4-settings source, apply the patch, increment with a non-maintainer version number (for no future apt-get conflicts once this gets an official fix), and reinstall your patched xfce4-settings.
The aforementioned screen blank patch fixed this bug that has been driving me nuts for weeks. I would lose my entire X session every single day as soon as the screen blanked... quite troublesome when you're trying to make linux work as your daily drive, haha.
I had to learn how to patch a .deb file properly in the process, but that was worth it too.
For anyone running xfce4 with this bug driving them nuts, it may pertain to a known bug in xfsettingsd.
