There is another report of this bug on xubuntu feisty, as well as some follow-up with logs, configs and xsession errors, in this bug report:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce/+bug/94182/
That bug was incorrectly (imo) marked as a duplicate of a different xfce panel bug (which might be related).

To clarify:
1) This bug relates to xubuntu live-cd only. It is not present when booting from a hard disk xubuntu installation on the same computer, even after disabling the login prompt (to mimic the boot behavior of the live-cd).
2) This bug only "appears" when first booting. Once the panel is (re)launched from the terminal, or by creating a desktop launcher, or by restarting the x-session (<ctrl><alt><bhsp>), the panel loads and behaves normally.
3) This bug appears consistently (ie on every boot) on some machines but not at all on others. I have tried changing the video card to several different agp cards but the bug appeared when using any of them. I have tried booting from a dvd drive, a cd-rw drive and a 40x cd drive, but the bug appeared with each of them.
