Is that *normal* behavior of XFCE? I would look into that, probably
first by Googling, then perhaps by asking in an XFCE help forum, or
whatever it is they have.
Also, check the obvious thing: is ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs a regular
file, or a symlink?
Altering the contents of an existing file in ~/.config/ upon login
sounds incredibly wrong to me, to the point where I have a hard time
believing it's a default behavior. Maybe your system admin has done
something locally on your system to overwrite this file on every login.
