Hm? xfw has got a file in /home .config/xfe/xfwrc, so it might be
tricky, too. At least no dconf is involved.

dconf is in .config and mirrored in /run and contains data of many gtk
apps, at least of all GNOME apps. Deleting it in /run is no problem,
but in .config it would require to fix ownership by running chown.
