I now know how to get to XFCE working again on F28 following attempts to test F29.

cp -au .../dot_config_2018_11_02_ja_backup_GTX2/dconf /home/ja/.config
cp -au .../dot_config_2018_11_02_ja_backup_GTX2/autostart/ /home/ja/.config
sometimes a reboot is required (still using very old syntax!)
shutdown -r now

diff -qr did the trick when finding these files/directories

However I have still not been able to use my account on F29 without freezing
and core dumps.

I think it is to do with "autostart" but I have no idea what.
After 15 to 20 years of using XFCE my current solution is

dnf groupinstall LXDE
which has caused no problems with my account - yet.

Aside/In addition
I have been getting core dumps associated with xfce on F28 for several weeks
but they have never made the machine unusable.
This was definitely not a hardware problem as they occurred on at least two machines.
dnf downgrade to xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.19.5-1.fc28.x86_64
did not appear to solve this problem.
It was not possible to downgrade on F29 because of dependency problems.
I'm pretty convinced xfce has some significant bugs.
