The files that are created in ~/.config/xfce4/desktop should contain the resolution in the name and not the size of the workarea. At least for me almost every time i rebooted the values of the workarea were a little bit different and so the icons where all rearanged to the top left side. I changed the source to use screen resolution for the filenames and now its working for me. So why not using the resolution instead of the work-area size?
