Kcdtv, glad it is working for you, and welcome to the Arch Linux forums
]]>~/.cache/sessions/
And now everything works fine!
Thank you so much.
clearing the session cache ( ~/.cache/sessions/...)
Thank you! It helped
]]>Try logging out of xfce. Then, from the normal terminal, clear out ~/.cache/sessions.
(If you're using a login manager, log out of xfce and use ctl-alt-f1 to get to a normal login to do this.)

I also had the error messages and solved it by clearing the session cache ( ~/.cache/sessions/...). Try it out.
It works! Thank you a lot, Andy!
Also, many thanks to everybody who partecipated in this thread. This community is awesome!
]]>(By the way: In the desktop settings I had to disable the display of removable drives on the desktop.)
]]>In the user account I first have to click away several identical messages complaining about the panel issue. Then I get with right-click on the desktop to a menu via which I can call a shell. In the shell I enter "xfce4-panel", then the panel shows up. After quiting from the shell it of course goes away - and then shows up again.
Unfortunately, after next xsession, the problem shows up again.
2nd issue: The XFCE4 "Places" plugin has to be "removed" after the panel shows up.
]]>~/.config/autostart contains these Xfce-related files:
xfce4-settings-helper-autostart.desktop
xfce4-tips-autostart.desktop
xfconf-migration-4.6.desktop
I guess that they're not related to the panel in any way...
]]>Also check ~/.config/autostart for Xfce stuff.
]]>mv ~/.config/xfce4 ~/.config/xfce4old
Then logout and login again.
