I think all he's trying to say is to do a: 

    rename('path/to/.xfce4rc', 'path/to/.xfce4rc.bak');

and then have your script write its xml to 'path/to/.xfce4rc'. I'm
assuming that since you're able to generate the XML from your xfce3rc,
you *should* be able to write it -- the method may be wierd tho',
depending on the modules you're using.
