I had this problem two times; when I fiddle with Nvidia-settings and save to xorg.conf or edit manually the xorg.conf and have syntaxes, there seems to be a change inside .config/xfce4 , specifically in ~/xfce4-back/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml . I also filed a bug in the bugzilla XFCE: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10023
Basically deleting all xfconf stuff fixes the problem; but ends up losing alll shortcuts,icons,styles,panels..
I am able to save my shortcuts but not my panels.. It seems displays.xml is linked to them. I paste displays.xml below , in case you see some error/syntax error?
