hi all,
I finally manage to get all icons on kphotoalbum on xfce.
there's 2 solutions and i don't know which one is the good one.

first elementary theme need to be fixed.
In the file /usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce/index.theme
replace
  Inherits=adwaita,gnome,hicolor
by (notice a to A change in adwaita)
  Inherits=Adwaita,gnome,hicolor

Then to have all icons on kphotoalbum, i need to add other icon theme to the line which ended as :
Inherits=Adwaita,gnome,hicolor,breeze,oxygen,default.kde4,default

Why is this needed, would you ask me.
I've got 2 answers :
a/ the icon fallback mecanism of KDE do not work properly on xubuntu. (Still don't know why)
b/ kphotoalbum.desktop use a line
Icon=kphotoalbum
and this do not exist !! (is this a bug of kphotoalbum or those this application rely too much on the icon's fallback mecanism of KDE ? (not sure at that time).

because it works with all kde apps and all users, i will stay on the workaround that fix /usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce/index.theme but i'm sure that this is not the right answer.

I've solved my problem and i stop research now.
It's up to someone else to finalize it.

I hope that this workarounf could help other people.
bye all.
