Is that *normal* behavior of XFCE? I would look into that, probably first by Googling, then perhaps by asking in an XFCE help forum, or whatever it is they have. Also, check the obvious thing: is ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs a regular file, or a symlink? Altering the contents of an existing file in ~/.config/ upon login sounds incredibly wrong to me, to the point where I have a hard time believing it's a default behavior. Maybe your system admin has done something locally on your system to overwrite this file on every login.
