The following fix worked for me (add the "indicator plugin" to the
panel):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-panel/+bug/1302462/comments/3

It's a pity it doesn't seem done by the default install / upgrade,
though. Seriously, I wonder what the Xubuntu devs are thinking (no
working WiFi by default???).
