Likely the desktop file was written by me and not by
xfce4-settings-manager, however, it's used by xfce4-settings-manager.

Thank you.
Btw. I've got two dirs and two files in .local/share/xfce4.
$ ls .local/share/xfce4/*
.local/share/xfce4/helpers:
custom-WebBrowser.desktop
.local/share/xfce4/parole:
auto-saved-playlist.m3u
For sure I didn't write auto-saved-playlist.m3u myself.
_Sum up_:
Everything is stored in
~/.config/xfce4/
~/.config/Thunar/
~/.local/share/xfce4/
This might be something that was used in the past:
~/.config/xfce4-session
Likely dconf or gconf aren't used, even not by xfwm.
Likely ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini are ignored.
Likely ~/.Xresources and ~/.fonts.conf/, resp. ~/.fonts.conf.d/ are
ignored too, but perhaps .config/Trolltech.conf is important or wherever
qtconfig-qt3 and qtconfig-qt4 store settings. Or does Xfce4 handle e.g.
font sizes for Qt apps too?

Ralf
