Now, with the latest release of x11-wm/xfce4-desktop (4.10.1),
wallpapers searched for in /usr/local/share/backgrounds/xfce/ and like
Xfce <= 4.8 /usr/local/share/xfce4/backdrops/  this is new with this
release. If no wallpaper was specified, of course.

Your description seems, that you still have wallpaper dealt with
previous release of Xfce (before 4.10). With Xfce 4.10 there's **one**
wallpaper (blue and Xfce logo in middle).

You can see your last wallpaper with this command

xfconf-query -cl xfce4-desktop

Select property (for example)

xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/last-image

xfdesktop was tested with custom and default (without modification)
session, wallpaper displayed fine.

I think, xfce4-settings is missing (I had same problem, but wallpaper
was ok). If you have log somewhere (in your $HOME, or /var/log
directory), it's better.
