The unity-gtk-module packages are the trouble makers in this particular
case, per the "UBUNTU_MENUPROXY should not be set in Xfce" bug. But
that's only half the problem and having those loaded in Xfce causes
other problems. The late fork() problems can potentially be triggered by
other bugs also, so both these bugs need to be independently fixed. As
such, I've unset the duplicate.

Bug description:
  Several programs in Xfce have a daemon mode call gtk_init() before
  fork()ing.

  This is unsafe, and when it goes wrong this will typically manifest as
  the daemon hanging shortly after forking, and appearing to simply do
  nothing at all.
