Yes, 100%. Emerge tells me so and after emerging the patched version the xfce-desktop it needs a little more time to load the xfce-session.

No, the icons never change on this Desktop ;-) After logout, one can login on tty1 and verify that icon-file (~/.config/xfce4/desktop/...) is indeed correct.

Obviously the things are messed up at starting up the xfce-session. As I wrote before the error occurs with the 4.10 version only when I logout and login afterwards without reboot. With the 4.12 versions it occurs on every login.
