This issue is even present in the official XFCE live image.
The XFCE desktop environment in started by running startxfce4. This launches xfce4-session, which in turn launches the following programs, in this order: xfwm4, xfsettingsd, xfce4-panel, Thunar --daemon, and xfdesktop.
Currently, when launching the XFCE desktop environment on a Void Linux system, the loading of the wallpaper is delayed by 8 seconds. This is because Thunar --daemon somehow fails to start due to being incorrectly compiled, and thus this causes the xfdesktop background process, which is responsible for the wallpaper, to be delayed as well. As stated above, this issue can even be observed when booting the official Void Linux XFCE live image.
The delay can be fixed by adding the missing build dependency to the Thunar template file, namely xorg-server-devel. Presumably the configure script is automatically disabling some important option when it detects that the relevant Xorg development files are not present, which happens to impede Thunar from properly starting as a daemon process.
