This bug is a direct result of bug #819585. If you choose the wrong session when logging in the first time, the session is set wrong and causes the Xubuntu session to retain the wrong settings. More specifically,
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS end up containing /etc/xdg/xdg-default/ instead of /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu

@Charlie
Not exactly.
If I choose the second Xubuntu Session, I get the correct theme but icons are still missing.
See screenshot.

Since you logged into the session with the wrong wallpaper/settings the first time, you have to remove that configuration completely as follows:

log out using right-click on the panel, hover on panel, select logout
from the lightdm login screen, Ctrl+Alt+F2
type 'login', hit enter
type 'rm -r ~/.config', hit enter
type 'exit', hit enter
Alt+F7
click on your username
enter password
select the xubuntu session you did not pick the first time
click login

and, yes, this is quite a procedure, for something that is not your fault.

[Sergio Zanchetta (primes2h)]

You are right about the configuration. :-)

Anyway, I tested it in a quicker way.
I tried the last fresh build (20110803.2) putting it on a live usb and that's it, selecting the second Xubuntu Session it works. ;-)

Thanks.
I think it's better to mark it as a duplicate of #819585, since the issue comes from that.

[Charlie Kravetz (cjkgeek)]

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.

I can reproduce this issue any time on either i386 or amd64 installations of Oneiric Ocelot as of 2011-08-02.

Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
