This, although from 2008 may be helpful:
https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=4317
Check ~/.config/xfce4/mcs_settings/desktop.xml
Or that directory for settings related to the background.
If it's not there, maybe, just maybe ~/gtk-2.0 or gtk-3.0
You may also want to try installing "mlocate," and use the 'locate'
command
with "wallpaper" or "background" and see what comes up for config
files

On my VM, "Change the background" woke and unwoke my ability
to change the background directory.
On the machine in question, no joy.
I think there is some corruption or something.
Do y9 know how to set this manually (vi)?
