The other weird thing to happen since upgrading is the loss of all
desktop icons. In the Desktop folder, the icons are there, but on
the actual desktop.

I recently upgraded from Ubuntu Studio 16.04 to 18.04. Some
things got reset and need changing back to how I want.
<br>
<br>
I want the calendar to start on Sunday, and managed to get
that done by editing en_GB locale file, making first weekday
= 1.
<br>
<br>
But, now in all other programs, the date formats are in US
format, e.g. May 03, 2019; but I want them back to the UK
format of 3 May 2019.
<br>
<br>
Despite the en_GB locale file seeming to have all the right
settings, I am now stuck with dates in US format, which is
hard to read, e.g. 05/03/19 -- is that 5th of March or 3rd
of May?
<br>
<br>
So how can I get it have Sunday as first day of week, and
all date formats in UK format (as it all was back in 16.04)?

I'm not sure how to answer this, but I can tell you that there
was nothing substantially modified between 16.04 and 18.04 in
terms of configuration, so there might be a configuration
discrepency in your ~/.config folder.
<br>
<br>
My recommendation to you is to ask this question on AskUbuntu
(askubuntu.com) to get as many eyeballs as possible on this.
There's a good chance that somebody ran into the same issue
and figure it out. AskUbuntu is for all flavors of Ubuntu,
including Ubuntu Studio and Xubuntu, which are the two that
use Xfce by default.
<br>
<br>
There's also a good chance someone in this mailing list
figures it out too!
<br>
<br>
I did, however, see that you posted this same question in the
Facebook group, and since that's not a technical support forum
but rather a collaboration and artistic forum, I will be
closing it for comments.
<br>
<br>
Best regards,
<br>
