ok, this is interesting.  i'm sorry if you already answered this 
somewhere in the thread, but how did you install xfce?  source tarballs, 
installer, RPMs, debs, etc.?  the configure check that looks to see if 
hicolor/index.theme exists is pretty simple stuff.  note that this will 
only install hicolor/index.theme to *xfce's prefix*, which may or may 
not be /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ depending on what you passed to 
configure.  this is done to ensure that *xfce's* icons get found properly.

if you installed from source, can you re-run configure for libxfcegui4 
(remove the hicolor theme you installed yourself first and check to make 
sure the index.theme file is really gone) and verify that it incorrectly 
believes that the file is present?  i think it should happen near the 
end of the configure output.

thanks,
