Therefore, I am closing.

Hi,

when setting up a xfce4 desktop, the ${HOME}/.config/xfce4 directory 
contains direct references to the store, which can later be garbage 
collected:

~$ grep -r "/gnu/store" .config
.config/xfce4/panel/launcher-9/14865882321.desktop:Exec=/gnu/store/84x54ph8x8z2m77sln39nh5dkkjmj64g-exo-0.10.3/bin/exo-open

I think the launcher items can be replaced by the just the executables, 
without a path.  The desktop images can probably be replaced by 
/run/current-system/profile/share/backgrounds/xfce/...?
