The iconbox is generally launched automatically when you use the port
xfce4-session (which is not part of xfce4 because it is always in
development ; I personally don't use it because of stability problem),
which explain the warning. But this is not an error, and the iconbox
must be launched: at least it is the case on my desktop. Are you sure
the iconbox is not start after issuing the command?
