Does not sound right, we don't intentionally change or install default 
configurations in the user directory. They were all minor bug fix updates

zypper patch or zypper up?

Indeed, but before calling it broken we need a little more info of what went 
wrong. Have any logs or anything that could help narrow down which package may 
have caused this?

The path is ~/.config/xfce4. Our configs do not wipe nor override user configs. 
You're sure is not a non xfce package wiping your configs?

xfce4-panel-profiles allows you to save back up copies of your panel configs.
