I couldn't reproduce it, but I have an idea of what could happend.
I think your user have a central desktop file and it was stored in ~/
And I think your root isn't using a central desktop file so you used su
when you were in /home/thiago. Then the root loaded the default desktop
file for Thiago and at exit saved it as root.root. So then you tried to run
the editor as thiago, as the file was owned by root and was read-only the
editor said "Wrong desktop file", and then you needed to delete the desktop
file losing your configuration.
That's the only situation I could generate, and is fixed in 0.4.49 because
now the default desktop file is stored in ~/.setedit avoiding such a mess.
