The Aspire One's desktop uses a separate configuration file in
~/.config/xfce4/desktop/something.xml . I don't have mine handy, but
look around and you'll find a definition in there to what "Browser"
points to.

It's not integrated with settings, because the desktop is new (and
poorly integrated) code by Linpus / Acer.
