I installed xfce-base/xfdesktop-4.19.1 yesterday and found my desktop with no icons today after reboot. What helped is to go to the settings and switch "Icon Type" to "None" and back to "File/launcher icons". So there is apparently some problem in the upgrade path and/or a mismatch of settings dialog and reality. What do you think?
Same happened to me also. I reverted to 4-19-0 and all ok.
I'm also noticing now after another reboot that the file icons no longer cover the full screen height but only the upper ~70 percent or so. @xfce my vote for hard-masking 4.19.1, this is not ready for end-users.
Reported upstream now

With xfdesktop-4.19.1 installed, the workaround from comment #1 does not work. since 4.19.0 is no longer available I had to revert to xfdesktop-4.18.1 to get the icons back

Masked after pinging mgorny on IRC. Thanks!
Could you try 4.19.2? There's some icon-related fix in the changelog, so maybe it's better now.
(In reply to Michał Górny from comment #8) > Could you try 4.19.2? There's some icon-related fix in the changelog, so > maybe it's better now. Hi! Still no icons. Switching back to 4.19.0-r2 solves the problem. And xfdesktop-4.19.0-r2 needs lower xfce-base/libxfce4windowing-4.19.1 to compile, on 4.19.3 merge breaks on linking (the problem is not in mold).

Same happens with =xfce-base/xfdesktop-4.19.2
I am usually not using desktop icons, but I have tried with the latest version in Gentoo and everything works fine so far. Are you sure this is not a simple config problem? Have you already tried deleting the xfdesktop-specific settings ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-desktop.xml or start with a clean (xfce) profile? Also, there are files that store the icon positions in terms of row and cols in ~/.config/xfce4/desktop.
Note that the bad versions are masked again.
I tried with xfdesktop-0.19.2: LC_ALL=C xfdesktop -V This is xfdesktop version 4.19.2, running on Xfce 4.18. Built with GTK+ 3.24.41, linked with GTK+ 3.24.41. Build options: Desktop Menu: enabled Desktop Icons: enabled Desktop File Icons: enabled

This bug is *NOT* fixed, so why is it closed? Still no icons on desktop with xfdesktop-4.19.2-r1.ebuild I had to revert to xfdesktop-4.18.1 to get the icons back
xfdesktop-4.19.2-r1 segfaults during startup — new bug #930736 —, re-opening and adding bug #930736 as a blocker here.

Seemed like a good move a minute ago, no longer as sure. Sam, if you want to revert back to "see also + closed" please feel free to, I'm good either way.
