The new xfce4.8 does not display most icons, although they are installed. Settings were migrated from 4.6.

% pkg_info -Ix hicolor hicolor-icon-theme-0.12 A high-color icon theme shell from the FreeDesktop

(xfce4-settings-manager:1314): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'preferences-desktop'. The 'hicolor' theme was not found either, perhaps you need to install it. You can get a copy from: http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases

Icons in the preferences window and for most menu entries are missing or shown as broken (red X). Many menu entries are missing entirely. The Settings menu from the panel is empty.

xfce4-panel core dumps randomly.

Rebuilding all the libxfce* and xfce* ports has not made a difference.
