Since you logged into the session with the wrong wallpaper/settings the first time, you have to remove that configuration completely as follows:
log out using right-click on the panel, hover on panel, select logout from the lightdm login screen, Ctrl+Alt+F2 type 'login', hit enter type 'rm -r ~/.config', hit enter type 'exit', hit enter Alt+F7 click on your username enter password select the xubuntu session you did not pick the first time click login and, yes, this is quite a procedure, for something that is not your fault. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/820403 Title: Missing icons in the xfce panel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-panel/+bug/820403/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
