Ah, xfce might have a(n annoying) default setting. KDE had a similar
problem for a while. If so searching your home dir for the change won't
help as the default was either in a system config file or baked into the
binaries.

Perhaps search online for setting xfce environment variables.

I forget exactly what I had to do with KDE before, but it was a
configuration change to fix the default behavior.

ciao,
