I've had times where XFCE suddenly had issues.  First try loading xfwm from
the RunCommand App (usually Alt-F2).  If you don't have the panels, then
try starting xfce4-panel as well.  If you restart them, the session manager
usually keeps them.

Can you copy the output of ~/.xsession-errors or ~/.xsession-errors.old
(whichever has the more relevant messages) to the list?
