Had a similar experience - many system icons were gone, and the logout
popup never showed up, so I had some trouble shutting down...

I simply pkg_delete:d all my ports (cleaning /usr/local of stale files)
and reinstalled from scratch.  It was time for that anyway after
updating regularly (with portmaster) since about half a year.

(And, yes, I did follow the instructions in UPDATING)
