…alls xfconf-query 4.20 (the version in the closure) refuses -r and -n in the same invocation: "--create and --reset options can not be used together". The previous attempt to fold reset+create into one call produced 8 such errors per boot in ~/myautostart.log (one per binding) and left every binding unset — the trailing "Super+Arrow tile keys bound" line in the log is just an unconditional echo, not a status check. Issue each -r and -n as separate calls (the original Super+Up pattern), extended to all 8 bindings.

Follow-up to #22.
The first test boot from the merged xfce branch produced 8× this in
~/myautostart.log:xfconf-query 4.20 (the version in our nixpkgs closure) refuses
-rand-nin one invocation, so the combined-flag form #22 settled on doesn't actually work — every Super+Arrow write silently failed, and the trailingxfwm4 Super+Arrow tile keys boundline in the log is just an unconditional echo, not a status check.Split each binding into two separate xfconf-query calls:
This is the same pattern fd9e958 already used for Super+Up — now applied to all 8 bindings.
