Where does the file 'user-dirs.dirs' come from? I don't see one on my 
system. That may be contributing to the problems I have been having. I 
found the quickest way to get Xfce working again was to delete the 
.config and .cache directories and start over. But that file doesn't 
appear in any of the backups I saved either.
