I figured out what this was,  I started moving configuration files one 
by one till I found gtk.xml and the Gtk/FontName was set to Newspaper 
10. I must have set the font to that at some point cause it looked 
similar to the Sans and it changed the arrows on me. So I changed the 
font and all is good now. Thanks everyone.

Something else I noticed to after constantly starting and quitting xfce 
over and over without closing the "Tips" dialog is that it thinks its a 
normal application and relaunches it after saving the session as well as 
launches a new one. So by the time I was done I had like 10 Tips windows 
on top of each other. As much as I hate special cases perhaps this 
application deserves a special case check because of this?
