This problem has been solved. In the previous version, xfce4's script, startxfce4 requires a patch to work, which corrects the XDG_DATA_DIRS. In 4.8, this patch is not needed -- but since it was added as a post-patch command in the Makefile of the port, no one noticed that. And the command causes the problem. Now comment out the port-patch part of the file /usr/ports/sysutils/xfce4-utils/Makefile, and rebuild this port, then both icons and menus works. If you know who manages this port, please forward this mail to him. Thx. -- Zhihao Yuan The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
