It's unrelated. It's in X (xkb) that the stuff lies and in fact “it's
not a bug, it's a feature“. It seems that the sticky keys property is an
“expirable” one and that the default expiration is 120s so 2 min:

yaperez at oban: xkbset q exp
AccessX Timeout = 120

I guess that xfce4-settings should force it to be enabled without expiration.
