Did this coincide with an upgrade from Xfce 4.0 to 4.2?

Between 4.0 and 4.2 the config files moved from ~/.xfce4 to 
~/.config.xfce4.  You might be able to recover your settings by 
copying your config files into the new directory.

Yes, when I upgraded to 4.2.

Xfce 4.2 is nicer than 4.0 -- worth a little pain (in my opinion).
