Also the 'minimize', 'enlarge' and 'close' tabs on this browser window do not serve their purpose anymore, also the dock does not show when I move the mouse cursor over it when I have an application open. When I open an application the windows goes over the top system bar, etc etc. All this is a serious impairment in terms of the work I need to do.

Does Alt+F2 work?

If it does, Alt+F2, xfwm4 should fix this. If it fails to, try 
Alt+F2, xfsettingsd

The majority of the time, if xfsettingsd failed to run, you will have a
light grey theme only. It will not be the normal theme and is quite
obvious that it changed.
