steam-tray-icon
I have this problem since I upgrade to 16.04, it was fine in 14.04.
In panel preference, if I set panel style to xfce 4.12, the panel looks like this.

By default, it's set to Xubuntu modern and it doesn't display steam tray icon correctly.

Steam doesn't handle the icon display so this may be a WM issue.

I have the same issue on fresh installation of Xubuntu 16.04. My workaround was to change /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/steam_tray_mono.png icon to that from attachment below. Now it looks nice with default theme.

steam_tray_mono

@malysps Thank you, this works great!

The following might help:
dbus-launch steam

I've edited my steam launcher and its command now is
/usr/bin/dbus-launch /usr/games/steam %U
