Something similar happened to me when I upgraded beowulf to chimaera.
Only I use icewm instead of xfce.
The images in the five-icon bar at the bottom disappeared.  They still took up 
the usual five spaces, but instead of icons they were blank.  I could still use 
the machine, because I knew the locations of the ones I use, and clicking there 
had the expected effects.

It turned out that the upgrade was not quite complete.  I used dpkg to remove 
a package the was blocking some others, performed some more apt and aptitude 
actions and a *lot* more packages were upgraded and installed.  The icon images 
have returned.

Luigi,

> I tried to use the xfce4 application menu. I set "show icons in menu" but that

The fix for this is to recreate the default xsettings.xml  config. Further
information is available[1]. We will add this to the Release Notes.

Thanks

Mark
