Other Missing panel in XFCE in VirtualBox

I'm missing the panel when I log into XFCE 14 in VirtualBox w/Guest Additions installed. Is anyone experiencing something similar or can you confirm it's working for you?

I can run a panel from terminal and it seems to work fine, but it's not persistent.

I deleted xfce's config at ~/.config/xfce4 and restarted it (via lightdm and straight from console), and the cache at ~/.cache/xfce4 same - no panel.
 
Ungh...

I tried with new user, same issue. xfce4-panel is dumping core, only on initial startup:

Code: 
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
Process 2859 stopped

All the lldb_unnamed_symbol stuff is decidedly unhelpful.

Off to see if I screwed up rc.conf or something.
 
Totally unrelated i don't have a panel with lxde desktop...
[ PS: I also use MX-linux but do virtualization in opposite direction i.e. running Linux in Virtualbox on FreeBSD ]
You could try :
Code: 
find  /home/mysuer/.config | grep -i xfce  ===>> rm .....
To reset the configs.
 
I tried this 9 ways from Sunday - minimal install of xfce on 14/13.2, in VBox 7, in VBox 6.1, new user, uninstall everything vbox related (purged), etc. and every time - the panel crashes... on the linux host.

I finally got my FreeBSD metal back up and ready to try and sure enough, it doesn't have this problem :(. Argh - so much wasted energy! Thanks Alain De Vos for the brilliant idea to run MX in FreeBSD and not the other way around... duh. Off to rebuilding this workstation as FreeBSD.
