I notice now I have something called 'xsettingsd' running in the background, and if i kill it, the original problem returns i.e. changes made through xfce4-appearance-settings have no effect. The only remaning question is why 'xsettingsd' wasn't running beforel but somehow recovered after I did the python removal thing.
