errormessages libxfce4windowing

Dear Maintainer,

since my update from xfce 4.18 to version 4.20 I see these messages in the .xsession-errors:

** Message: 17:15:04.297: Failed to fetch _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS; assuming 1
** Message: 17:15:04.297: Failed to get _NET_WORKAREA; using full screen dimensions
** Message: 17:15:04.297: Failed to fetch _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP; assuming 0
** Message: 17:15:04.297: Failed to fetch _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP; assuming 0
** Message: 17:15:04.485: Failed to fetch _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP; assuming 0
** Message: 17:15:04.682: Failed to fetch _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP; assuming 0

I have already asked in the xfce-forum: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=17999 and got the reference to libxfce4windowing. Is this a bug and can these messages be turned off?

my system is a debian sid with kernel 6.1.129 and runs otherwise error-free. many thanks for a reply.

kind regards M.Berg
