Bug Description

Steps to reproduce the bug:

1) Right click on desktop -> select Desktop settings -> Icons and select "Single click to activate icons". Single click behaviour works as expected.
2) Reboot or log out and then single click behaviour is disabled but "Single click to activate icons" checkbox is still selected. If you re-enable it the single click behaviour works.

Found a dirty workaround:

1) create a script (~/.desktop_single_click_enable):
#!/bin/sh
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /desktop-icons/single-click -s false
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /desktop-icons/single-click -s true

2) And add it to autostart
