For future lurkers, this also works:

qubes-dom0-update --action=reinstall <list of below packages>

xfce4-settings-4.12.0-6.fc23.x86_64
xfce4-screenshooter-1.8.2-5.fc23.x86_64
xfce4-power-manager-1.6.0-4.fc23.x86_64
xfce4-about-4.12.1-3.fc23.x86_64
xfce4-panel-4.12.0-4.fc23.x86_64
xfce4-session-4.12.1-6.fc23.x86_64
xfce4-sensors-plugin-1.2.5-3.fc23.x86_64
xfce4-taskmanager-1.1.0-4.fc23.x86_64
xfce4-terminal-0.6.3-8.fc23.x86_64
xfce4-notifyd-0.2.4-8.fc23.x86_64
xfce4-appfinder-4.12.0-4.fc23.x86_64

The list of packages to specify here is pretty easy to see from the
output of "rpm -V" in dom0.
