Depends on what the default values for $sysconfdir are. *rummages*
Yes, I have /usr/etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/xfce-registered-categories.xml.
In fact, if I kill xfdesktop, and move the file, xfdesktop continues
to work.

Just a fluke I guess. Since xfdesktop just suddenly started working
again, as my previous email said, it's probably best to let it slide.
