Errors after updating to XFCE 4.14

Desktop Environments XFCE
1

I’ve just had the XFCE 4.14 update roll on my machine and
now I no longer have windows decorations like handles and borders (title bars are missing also) and window manager settings won’t launch. I tried launching it in console to see why it wont launch and here is the output: xfwm4-settings: error while loading shared libraries: libxfconf-0.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
At first I thought, well this might have something to do with the GTK3 switch, so i changed my theme to Numix, but no dice.

Does anyone have any advice on how to proceed? The DE is so broken atm that i’ll have to take refuge in another de untill i can fix the issues.

After some searching around this did the trick:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libxfconf-0.so.3 /usr/lib/libxfconf-0.so.2
Basically I’ve symlinked the libxfconf 3 to the now missing libxfconf v2.
