I have upgraded the laptop to r275515 and with the above procedure these
two programs crashes with a core dump: xfdesktop and xfdesktop-settings.

More details:
The above procedure put two invalid values in Xconf, preventing  xfdesktop
and xfdesktop-settings to run.
The commands:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/last-image-list
-s ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/backdrop.list
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-path -s
~/.config/xfce4/desktop/backdrop.list

restores the correct values.
