I have no idea what the shown warning means and how it can be
circumvented.
The strange thing is: Even after I have rearranged the icons (+ some
seconds later), the file dates are quite old except for
icons.screen0-1904x1018.rc, which is of today:
$ ls -l ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/
insgesamt 44

after I had rearranged my icons, I made these files immutable, so lsattr
tells me
$ sudo lsattr ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/

despite that, the desktop icons were rearranged in two narrow columns at
the left screen border after a reboot!
My screen resolution is
$ xdpyinfo | awk '/dimensions/{print $2}'
1920x1080
$
and strangely there is no file for that!
