Just a shot in the dark...
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ grep theme .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/*
.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfwm4.xml: <property name="theme" type="string" value="Default"/>
...perhaps replacing "Default" by a theme name works around the issue.
OTOH I don't know for what theme this value is used.
Ensure that the value...
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ grep -i zen .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/*
.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml: <property name="ThemeName" type="string" value="Zen-verda"/>
...is set to the wanted theme name and restart the window manager. I
don't know if xfwm4 --replace does replace itself, IOW does
cause a restart.
I never used it, but there's an app named xfce-theme-manager available,
but perhaps it doesn't set the theme, maybe it's just a theme editor or
what ever else.
