I have no idea what caused this, but to try and fix it, try to first
copy ~/.xfce4/xfce4rc.bak to ~/.xfce4/savedrc. Then logout of X, copy
~/.xfce4/savedrc to ~/.xfce4/xfce4rc, restart and pray your config
wasn't overwritten yet.

If his doesn't work you will have to manually recreate your own
configuration (changing items is done by right-clicking on them).

If you used the default configuration you can also simply copy
${sysyconfdir}/xfce4/xfce4rc to ~/.xfce4/.

Let me know if it keeps happening.
