My guess is that the defaults on your USB disk are somehow being
loaded, and then your configuration is loaded on top of that. I don't
know how that could happen.

I wrote xfce-config-helper [1] precisely to have control over these
situations, you can dump both configurations and use diff to find the
differences. Then you can merge the two configurations and the result
should work on both. Or just dump your configuration and load it into
the USB disk.
