I'm seeing the same behaviour with a bunch of programs (Terminal,
Thunar, Xfmedia etc...). I'd guess Gtk can't find the icons, as they're
installed in a different prefix (/opt/xfce4-svn) in my case, and shows
the default broken image icon[1].

I'd guess there is a fix, but as it has not bothered me too much, I
haven't looked into it.
