In Rawhide (fc39) and the beta branch (fc38), with all updates applied, I'm seeing all menu icons are gone in Xfce... both the system menu and right-click context menus.
Seems the Settings Tab in Settings->Appearance now has all options turned off, including "Show images in menus". Updates did this.
Ticking this option brings sanity back. Was this really intentional or is it a bug? I think this deviation from traditional defaults is going to cause beginners a lot of grief.
The Xfce updates in the total update payload were as follows:
xfce4-about-4.18.2-1.fc38.x86_64 xfce4-notifyd-0.8.0-1.fc38.x86_64 xfce4-panel-4.18.2-1.fc38.x86_64 xfce4-power-manager-4.18.1-1.fc38.x86_64 xfce4-session-4.18.1-1.fc38.x86_64 xfce4-settings-4.18.2-1.fc38.x86_64
I'm guessing it was xfce4-settings that did it? If this was intentional I think it was a really bad idea.

So you had an existing working install and updates changed it?
I wonder if someone could test the current live images and see if it's happening there?

No, I am pretty sure this was not intended.
Can you file a xfce4-session bug?
Thanks,

No problem, here it is:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2170682
To be clear yes, this happened as a result of running updates to systems (Virtual) that were working as expected previous to the update.

This is now fixed:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-f07f5eede6
But the fix is being held back by the freeze, which if my understanding is correct [it may not be] that means this rather ugly bug will be in the public beta?
I think this should be a freeze exception.

Feel free to file a request for that. ;)

Or if you prefer I can...
I guess this probibly should go through freeze, not because of the icon thing, but because the theme settings also aren't applied.

It is. Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-38-20230216.n.0.iso has this problem on a fresh install. It's fixable through the settings. I've updated the BZ.
I cannot test the Live image because I cannot login, I get bounced back to the greeter (an unrelated problem).
