XFCE icon theme confusion

I have a weird problem with my icons and XFCE. Some time ago my gedit icon in the taskbar had gone missing. After a while, I decided to erase my XFCE config and create a new and the icon was properly shown again. But during the time I configurated XFCE, it was again as a missing icon in the xfce taskbar. In the application menu the icon is shown correctly.
Furthermore, Midori shows at the position of the forward button the icon of rhythmbox's next button, but not always, just sometimes, depending on it's mood [Update: No, not depending on it's mood but if it's a shadowed or active button].

I guess my icon theme is somehow corrupted, but removing and reinstalling did not work (using 'gnome'). I also updated my icon cache without any change. If I change to another icon theme, the problem also remains.

Any suggestions?

[UPDATE] Yeah, I tried to remove my config again, but this time nothing was fixed by that.

Output of pacman -Qs icon:

Re: XFCE icon theme confusion

Same issue here. Removing ~/.config doesn't help for me though.

It also effects other icons, for instance urvxt - whereas xfce4-terminal displays it correctly (both are using accessories-terminal)
