[xubuntu-users] All icons and desktop setting dissapeared

[dojero]

It appears that there are some permission problems in your setup.  Either
you're logged in as a user different from one who has permissions to change
your configuration file or somehow the permissions for the configuration
file have been changed or perhaps the wrong configuration file is being
used.

Are you logged in the same now as when you set up your desktop originally?
Does the Settings Manager save the changes at all?  Or do they disappear the
next time you start it (in which case they were never written in the first
place)?
