You're going to see weird behavior from all your apps if you restart
xfce-mcs-manager, is manages the Xsessions, and is needed for apps to
get the GTK theme, and icon theme. So that's not surprising.

You still haven't mentioned how you finally ran gtk-update-icon-cache.

And as for Thunar, Thunar starts in folders other than home if it's
working directory is other than home. Did you start it from the
command line?
