Right, the custom helpers. Which are belonging there. I forgot them.
Sorry, my bad. But AFAIK nothing else should writing there on its own.
This directories main purpose is to provide overrides/additions for
/usr/share/xfce4/. Due to the XDG standards, there is  strong connection
between the single directories:

  system default  |     admin override     |    user override
------------------+------------------------+----------------------
 /usr/lib/xfce4   | /etc/xdg/xfce4         | ~/.config/xfce4
 /usr/share/xfce4 | /usr/local/share/xfce4 | ~/.local/share/xfce4

Xfce tries to follow those guidelines as close as possible. I hope I
didn't caused any confusion. See http://specifications.freedesktop.org/
for the specs.
