It's not bug, it's normal behaviour.

With new Xfce 4.10, default value of icons theme and Gtk theme are empty.

To avoid this annoying "bug", there're 3 ways to correct it:

- create ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file and add this line
gtk-icon-theme-name = "Tango" # Tango theme

caveat: you can't change icons theme with settings window.

- go to Menu -> Settings -> Appearance -> Icons (need Xfce's session
which works)

The last, I think it's the best.
- copy /usr/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml
to ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml
search keyword IconThemeName and replace empty by name of icons theme.

I've a patch on my box.
