Problem: The panel start with a white theme, not the system one (I think is adwaita) after restarting panel from terminal it shows the correct theme and settings (transparency)
Which version of xfce4-session are you using?

I can confirm this bug after switching to xfce4-session 4.13 git.
That is why I asked so specifically, I believe this is a regression of xfce4-session 4.13.x
I'm not sure if this problem is with xfce4-session after all. Please test if this resolves your problem: https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/commit/?id=ddbaa10fe716d4640d4c5bada8ec43e29d3bbec2

I have to reload the panel in the same way...
The change did not help. Problem is even present when compiling and testing 4.13.0 from 2017. However, the issue is gone after switching to sddm from lightdm. I tested with a simple "startxfce4" from a TTY also, but that variant is affected too.
Does not happen when using unity-greeter instead of lightdm-gtk-greeter.
I start Xfce with the xinit provided by the software from tty with startxfce4 --with-ck-launch I can't try with a greeter, sorry...
Please try to just start your session, then open xfce4-session-settings, save the session and log out again. After the restart of the session it should look better.

It worked I saved the session and now the panel is launching with the correct theme applied without the need to restart it every time. But I think is strange that behaviour no? Thanks a lot.
Simon Steinbeiss referenced this bugreport in commit 0a915310582803296fbfb075e1ea1c045b20bfcc Introduce priority-group startup for FailSafe Session https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/commit?id=0a915310582803296fbfb075e1ea1c045b20bfcc
With the above commit I can no longer reproduce the bug when using the failsafe mode. Note: I had to update the custom xfce4-session.xml which was installed by my distribution. https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/diff/settings/xfce4-session.xml?id=0a915310582803296fbfb075e1ea1c045b20bfcc

Now the panel is loaded with the right theme without the need to save session! Thanks.
Great! Marking that one fixed then.
