Segfault when starting with icons disabled

Running the latest version of xfdesktop from the git tree with the wayfire compositor. I generally have desktop icons disabled. As of a recent code update, xfdesktop segfaults on startup.

A git bisect identifies the following as the bad commit:

439bf8a8cd36796c33ae0b413641338417c9a911 is the first bad commit

If I enable icons in settings, xfdesktop starts. I can then manually disable the icons and it works as it should until the next restart.
