Well, I just proposed what I use daily, everyone has his own preferences.

Looking at sources xfce4-settings uses a script to perform the operation
at one point it executes this line of code:
tmpdir=`TMPDIR="${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$TMPDIR}" mktemp -d`
Could you check with env in a terminal if you have any of those two env
vars set?
I do not have any, so the script would obviously end up using the root
directory, which is definitely wrong.
I need to think a little what the best solution could be in this case. I
also need to check the full script to create a sensible patch.
