You can DnD the icons that are on the desktop.

Maybe when you do so, it will save a local copy, cause it's 100% sure
that it saves a file with the desktop icons (names, executables, etc).
However it might be saved to ~/.local/share/xfce4/desktop/, or even
somewhere else.  It might be either in ~/.config, ~/.local or even
~/.cache.

My 2 cents
