Dear all,

I have at last come back to this bug and solved the problem to my
satisfaction, though I don't know whether this will help Lionel or
Shannon.

Xfce4 very confusingly has multiple different notification applets:

* Notification Area: This shows (for me) the keyboard layout (IBus
  preferences), the Orage calender icon and the Notes icon.

* Status Notifier Plugin: This shows the SafeEyes icon and the
  bluetooth icon.

* StatusNotifier Plugin (note the lack of a space in the name): This
  also shows the SafeEyes icon and the bluetooth icon, only a little
  larger.

Why there should be two different panel applets showing different
icons I have no idea; this seems to be a very broken design to me.
But at least I can now see all my icons!

Best wishes,

   Julian

Ha ha, good catch!  That's half the problem - I've just removed
gtk3-engines-xfce, and now the window menu titles are back to
something sensible.  My libgtk-3-0 is 3.22.24, but that's been
installed for ages, so I don't know why it only just broke.

So the only remaining problem is the icons not appearing in the
notification area, and removing gtk3-engines-xfce hasn't helped there,
unfortunately.

Thanks!!

   Julian

Seems that gtk-3 broke theming again, but I'm unsure it's actually related.
Can you try with another theme like Arc?
