You need to make a package that provides that link/file. 
In the official fedora spins the desktop-backgrounds-compat package
does. You would need to make your own version of that and include it in
your remix.

You will want to have a package you make
provide /usr/share//pixmaps/xfce4_xicon1.png which is what the menu is
looking for.

That would require a patch to xfwm4.
