I'm curious as to whether you see this with a new user account on the failing machine? Possibly it's something left over in the .config/xfce directory saved from earlier days that's causing you problems? New user, new directory, simple test. - Mark

I really think this is a different issue. I emerged tango-icon-theme with no change. I have all icons except those that should be in the system tray, and even those missing system tray icons do appear in the xfce4 menu. There are no blank placeholders or anything like that. They just don't show up in the system tray at all. I did notice this from Twinkle: X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 I researched it on Google but got nowhere. - Grant

This package fixed every > icon problemthat I had in xfce menu. I'm sorry, I just saw your post now for some reason. I don't think the problem is with tango-icon-theme because I have 2 identical laptops with very similar configurations and neither of them have that package installed. Only 1 of the laptops is having this problem. The problem is with system tray icons that are not panel plugins. For example: wicd, twinkle, blueman, orage. The icons for those do not appear at all except for the twinkle icon which appears right in the center of the screen. All other icons work fine, and system tray icons that are panel plugins such as xfce4-mixer and clipman work fine. Any ideas? - Grant
