Seems like part of my problems with XFCE are somehow related with Dropbox.
I have now installed net-misc/dropbox-34.4.20 (older version have same
issue). If Dropbox is started than I'm seeing the error message and
loosing the notification area. Even if I try to add it to the panel
again it will fail to start. If I then kill dropbox process then
notification area became available to start without any errors.
I managed to reproduce same behavior on my laptop.
I don't think it's dropbox-only problem. Seems like dropbox only causing
some bug in XFCE panel to show itself.

Hi everyone.
I'm experiencing some strange problems after last XFCE update on my
desktop system (and less on my laptop).
1. (desktop only) After DE startup I'm encountering error message
telling me that Notification Area plugin unexceptedly stopped (or
something like that) with two options: execute it again and remove
from the panel.
1.1. Restarting does not help on regular basis. One time it works, but
next time it keeps showing this dialogue window again and again until
I close it (and notifications disappears from the panel).
2. (desktop and laptop) Some icons in "Launcher" plugin now doesn't
shows (see:
https://storage4.static.itmages.ru/i/17/0828/h_1503929343_8878570_d6da7a7763.png
). Some of them are detected natively from default application icons
and some of them was added/changed by me to ICO/PNG files.
2.1. Some icons are still shown in the Launcher settings while not
shown in the pannel in the end (see:
https://storage1.static.itmages.ru/i/17/0828/h_1503929483_5621165_a51b37f6fd.png
)
3. (desktop only) At the same time when I first encountered problem #1
I also discovered that "qTox" messenger now starts in two instances
when on previous system boot it was only one. There is only one
instance of "qTox" in the "Session and Startup" -> "Application
Autostart". May be XFCE now fails to merge "Session" and "Application
Autostart" data to prevent this type of situations? Strange thing is:
this bug encounters only with qTox. Nothing else runs twice (at least
I didn't see anything like that).
