I miss a lot of icons, including the "close" "minimize" icons that normally are in the titlebars.

appearantly the reboot fixed it overnight. some of the thing i did must have fixed it, because i had already rebooted twice after upgrading

Hey, I'm having exactly the same problem.
Could you tell me what have you done?
thanks

Hello.
An old thread I know, but it just happened to me on Debian Stretch (at this point of time a Debian Testing version so I excepted some minor bugs but so affecting and after 2+ years?) and Xfce4.12.2
I started to investigate my problem with missing icons in many places over the whole system (including desktop, some apps like VLC or Terminology, window decoration icons, default symbols like directory, Cairo-Dock Applications Menu, Lightdm Greeter and many other). This all leads me to think that it is related to GTK somehow.
Things worth noting:
jjacky.com's post and related bug report
I would rather like to avoid messing the source-code up without in-depth context knowledge and rebuilding GTK libs on my own.
Running gtk-demo shouts the following: and /usr/share/gtk-2.0/demo/gnome-fs-regular.png is just a standard PNG image data, 48 x 52, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced
On the other hand, running strace -f -s4096 -o Thunar-strace.log Thunar reports many ENOENT (No such file or directory) but those might be related with me trying tricks with gtk-update-icon-cache and other $HOME/.icons / $HOME/.local/share/icons moves. No idea.
The wallpaper is gone after this upgrade too…
I have blindly tried different paths mentioned here and there without any success yet.
Any suggestions for the fix are highly appreciate (maybe except for using timeshift backup from before today's dist-upgrade which I have available).
Encourage you to actively interchange ideas/solutions.
I'm thinking about locating, temporarily downgrading and marking the package that introduce all that shit to be on hold for the time it is resolved anyhow or a workaround is present (if you tell me to reinstall the whole OS from scratch then I switch back to Windows! JK, but to dwm at least ).
By the way, hello on the Xfce forums! :-)
EDIT: fixed a path typo and removed manual signature

Try updating the gdk-pixbf cache. As root:
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache
Log out and back in again to see if it helps.
It might also be good to clear your sessions cache when not logged in:
rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions
...this might fix those other pesky issues you are seeing.
And welcome to the forums.

Thanks for a quick reply, ToZ.
I logged out, switched to tty1 for root, called gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache, validate updated /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache, fixed permissions to include a+r (my default umask made the file readable only by root), restarted lightdm service, logged in on tty7 as user. Nothing changed.
Then I logged out and repeated the process again removing user session cache directory in the first step. Sadly nothing changed either.
I also found ~/.xsession-errors to include among other things like:
…
(xfce4-session:5872): xfce4-session-WARNING **: xfsm_manager_load_session: Something wrong with /home/user/.cache/sessions/xfce4-session-LOE:0, Does it exist? Permissions issue?
…
(xfdesktop:5904): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'image-missing' for stock: Unrecognized image file format
(wrapper-1.0:6008): weather-WARNING **: Failed to open fallback icon from standard theme: /usr/share/xfce4/weather/icons/liquid/22/nodata.png
(wrapper-1.0:6008): weather-WARNING **: No default icon theme? This should not happen, plugin will crash!
…
(wrapper-1.0:6008): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_image_set_from_pixbuf: assertion 'GTK_IS_IMAGE (image)' failed
…
Basically a lot of errors loading theme icons with unrecognized format and assertion image fails.
The session folder is empty but I believe it dumps data with a logout.
I don't think this log is any helpful…
Let me know if I can check other places for logs or any other ideas, please.
EDIT: That's strange that when I change Icon sets in Appearance Settings e.g. from Tango to Monochrome some of them restores (like the desktop Home and Filesystem)

Try reinstalling the librsvg package and updating your mime database:
update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime
If this doesn't help, can you post back your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file (if one exists) and /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc (if one exists).
And finally, create a new user and log in as that user. That will help you to see if its a system problem or a user-specific problem.

I appreciate your input very much, ToZ. Thank you for that.
However I already resolved the icons issue and I am not exactly sure how.
I simply reviewed packages that I had installed on my system and purged almost all non-crucial one (including XFCE4 stuff) leaving only base system in place.
Then I have rebooted my box, deborphaned the remnants and started installing only those debs which I really require.
That leaded me to have XFCE with no bugs again.
I'm sorry that I gave up investigating the real root cause of this issue but I found it more appropriate to clean my box, specifically before the New Year. ;-)
Thanks for the great desktop environment and hope to stay on the forums active (but due to problems NOT) :-)
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! (-:

"And finally, create a new user and log in as that user. That will help you to see if its a system problem or a user-specific problem." -member ToZ
After upgrading Debian 8.9 to 9.2 (and therefore xfce 4.10 to 4.12) all dark themes in menus showed white letters on a nearly white background.
So, I created a new user and everything was ok. Themes like xfce-dusk worked! Great
Then I switched to Plasma (KDE) in LightDM login, and then back to the xfce DE and the menus were wrong again.
I read somewhere that xfce and KDE share elements, and the this can cause issues with GTK2 and GTK3.?
I'm stuck and would be thankful for some help.

Check the contents of your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css files. Is plasma adding content there when it's run?

xfce dark them issue Debian 9.2, xfdesktop-version-4.10.3, GTK 3.22.11-1, GTK 2.24.31-2
This is an upgrade from Debian 8.9. It wasn't an issue in 8.9
I created 2 new users: rsr4 and rsr5
I made xfce-dusk the theme for both. Logged out and in. OK. I logged rsr4 into Plasma (KDE) then back into xfce and the application menues were
white text on white background. rsr5 was not effected by rsr4 logging into Plasma.
The difference seems to be Plasma added a bunch of stuff to user folder
Hard to find the files. Found this (Ubuntu)
~/.themes/[your theme]/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
and
/home/rsr2 (username)/.gtkrc-2.0
for gtk-3.0:
I got a bunch of hits Catfish search gtk-3.0
/home/rsr2 (username)/.config/gtk-3.0/ but nothing but "bookmarks"

## xfce themes seem to have .ini files or less commonly .css (like -notify- themes) The effected themes are dark like xfce-dusk, which has an .ini gtk 2.0 file. The Plasma seem to have the .css
rsr5: never had a Plasma luanch has no /home/rsr4/.config/gtk-3.0/
ToZ: added code tags

I found a work-around by accident.
I installed Vertex (Vertetx-Dark) This has gtk 2&3 components.
It doesn't fix the other dark themes, but I've always like Vertex anyway.
I haven't been able to break it. I'll see how it does after Cinnamon and Enlightenment. But it looks solid.
The only caveat is that buttons do the white on white thing when I mouse-over.

Try deleting (or renaming) the /home/rsr4/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file. It looks like plasma is setting the theme to Breeze there and it may be affecting the system.
