FreeBSD 14 Virtual Box Guest - missing panel

I am running FreeBSD 14 in a VirtualBox Guest (v.7.0.10) w/Guest Additions installed and when I start XFCE (either via startx or lightdm) it starts and runs fine... except that the panels are missing. I have deleted the config and cache directories and the problem persists after logouts, restarts, etc.

What's odd is that I can start a panel via terminal and it works fine, it just doesn't persist. If I kill the terminal it's running in, that panel goes away and I get the default top panel and bottom panel back, but if I then logout (save session or not), it's gone again.

Help .

Re: FreeBSD 14 Virtual Box Guest - missing panel

Also posted this over in freebsd forums. I noticed it dumps core on initial startup (but not on subsequent calls to xfce4-panel):

lldb -c xfce4-panel.core /usr/local/bin/xfce4-panel 
(lldb) target create "/usr/local/bin/xfce4-panel" --core "xfce4-panel.core"
Core file '/home/joe/xfce4-panel.core' (x86_64) was loaded.
(lldb) thread list

Any way to get lldb_unnamed_symbols to be more helpful?
