For some unknown reason, this problem showed up on my system recently
(XFCE / Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS system with all updates).

Deleting ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml and
logging in again didn't fix it for me.  (See #7)

That file contains  <property name="ThemeName" type="empty"/> so I don't
know what theme is being used.  I don't particularly want to specify a
theme.

Another silly thing: the launcher uses gnome-terminal when you select
"Debian X Terminal Emulator" as your preferred terminal emulator.  (See
Applications Menu: Settings: Preferred Applications: Utilities: Terminal
Emulator)

My avoid-the-problem solution is to select xterm as the Preferred
Terminal Emulator.
