[arch-general] No menu icons on XFCE4 desktop

After some investigation, it seems to be caused by some missing GTK
updates/configuration changes:

- I've installed GTK2 and GTK3
- I just noticed GTK4 is available, but not installed
- Only 3 themes are available, which seem to be integrated with GTK3+
recently.

So /usr/share/themes probably even isn't read - with about 130 themes
installed.

Why could that happen, and how can I fix it?

Kind regards

Peter
