No ideas.  I have the same bug... but it's weird.  I cleaned up my
~/.config, nothing, I renamed my whole home directory (dito clean and
empty home), still nothing.

xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName reports Xfce on login.

I created a new user and didn't have a problem with this... but still
experiencing the same bug with my user.

I didn't try to reboot :P</jk>
