Xfce - Making application paths permanent

Each time I close Xfce I lose my apps paths from the Panel. For instance, I've changed the browser command from 'mozilla' to '/opt/mozilla/bin/firefox', but when I close and return to Xfce, its back set on 'mozilla'. I imagine these paths are kept in and edlitable config. file, but I can't find it.  Can anyone help?

The one in extra. I am unable to find xfce4-svn in any of the repositories. Are you sure it exists?

Yep, in the Unstable repository.

Ah yes. Got it, and changed xfce.config to include it.

And I see that browser and terminal apps have environment variables to point to them, so I can change them. Actually, for some reason, the Firefox path has become sticky, but the Terminal path still changes on exit and restart. Strange.
