You can use the Debian packages without problems if you include an
icontheme="XXX" into the xfce4rc-file.

E.g. :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Xfce>
  <Panel size="1" popupposition="2" style="1" orientation="0"  \
  icontheme="Crystal" layer="0" left="5" right="5" screens="4" \
  showcentral="1" desktopbutto ns="1" minibuttons="1">
    <Position x="284" y="970"/>
  </Panel>
(...)


The problem starts if there's no theme entered, of course the theme has to
exist. 'XFce' as the standard one should work.
