I had this problem recently on Xubuntu Feisty, fully updated - some time in early Oct 07, before the Gutsy upgrade. In fact the problem happened on Feisty and persisted across the upgrade
I ran xf4ce-panel and got the panels back, but I have no menus at all - Applications menu just show Settings and About XFCE, and Quit. Is there some easy way to regenerate or recover the original menus for installed packages?
Can I also suggest that the Xubuntu developers put the above suggestion of backing up .config in a FAQ? As a newbie to XFCE I had no idea this was the config file, and also didn't realise config was so important to having a usable UI.
