FWIW, I've noticed that Xfce eventually gets confused about the settings
for my display.  I don't know what triggers it, but I'll suddenly notice
that the display has gone from 1920x1200 to 1920x1080.  Resetting it
works (under Display, not Desktop).  I don't see the problem with MATE,
KDE, Cinnamon, or i3.

This is on Debian 11, amd64 desktop (radeon 3000 video), Acer 23"
monitor.
