I went back and started looking for problems.  Rather than rebuilding 
everything Thunar depends on, I thought I'd start with 
sysutils/gnome-icon-theme.  Which errored out looking for the Perl 
XML-SAX modules.  I remember that upgrade, but didn't have a problem 
after it until now.

In any case, something was broken in my setup, a recent upgrade 
triggered a deinstall/reinstall of gnome-icon-theme, and the broken 
stuff prevented the creation of the icons.  After fixing that 
by reinstalling textproc/p5-XML-SAX, then reinstalling 
sysutils/gnome-icon-theme, all of the Thunar icons are present.

Thanks!
