That's actually an xfwm4 setting -- I don't recall if it's in 'window 
manager settings' or 'window manager tweaks', though.

Almost everything is in ~/.config/xfce4/ (more correctly: 
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xfce4/, where $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config/). 
  For various dubiously-valid reasons, there's also some stuff in 
~/.config/sessions/ and ~/.config/xfce4-session/.  Non-core-Xfce apps 
(like mousepad, xfmedia, xfburn, Terminal, etc.) tend to put their stuff 
in ~/.config/$APPNAME/.

I'm not sure whether to laugh (it *is* funny), or just sigh 
(unfortunately it's all too true)...
