[SOLVED] Shortcuts in other DEs not working after setting up XFCE4

Hello,

After installing XFCE4 and xfce4-goodies, then setting up my shortcuts in the Settings Manager, everything was fine until I've logged out and decided to run BSPWM, none of my shortcuts work anymore
I've tried the same with i3 and Qtile (Both in Qtile's own shortcuts in config.py and in sxhkd) but to no avail

Also, shortcuts in XFCE don't work anymore after rebooting...

sxhkd's output is:

Re: [SOLVED] Shortcuts in other DEs not working after setting up XFCE4

Update:
Managed to resolve the issue by running

rm -r ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf

And rebooting the system.

Weird...

Marking post as solved.
