Xfce4 Appearance settings backtrace

Fresh install of FreeBSD 8.0-BETA3 i386 with latest ports tree, Xorg 7.4 and
Xfce 4.6.1 on a Dell Inspiron 630m laptop. All the settings from the Settings
Manager work accept for the Appearance settings. When I click on it, nothing
happens. Running it from a terminal show this error:

(xfce4-appearance-settings:69410): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion `str
!= NULL' failed

(xfce4-appearance-settings:69410): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion `str

(xfce4-appearance-settings:69410): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_convert: assertion `str

Segmentation fault: 11

I've attach the backtrace below. I'm quite puzzled about this. I've tried
recompiling all Xfce4 components but still no go. I've also treid creating a
test user account and running Xfce4 from there. Same results. Let me know if
you need anything else. Thanks.

Apparently upgrading to FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 seems to have resolve this. Not sure if others are experiencing the same thing.

Probably OS bug, closing.
