Thanks anon.

Ok, now I'm 99% sure that desktop is using Nemo. I was checking configuration in dconf and changing following entries changed desktop look

org.nemo.desktop.text-ellipsis-limit
If text in icon is too long it will wrap the text n times. Still that is not what I want because text is still overlapping. I can just change how many rows will overlap. I still can't change the characters number in caption.

org.nemo.desktop.show-desktop-icons
self explenatory - unticking it hides icons. Thanks to that I found out that I use nemo. I just hope this value isn't shared with other apps because it would mean that other file manager might be used.

Editing /usr/share/applications and changing value of inode/directory did not helped to change default file manager. Other methods like .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list didn't helped either. I was studying linux gui architecture for the last few hours and I still don't know what to do. It's either unfixable or I should I try reinstall debian without gui and install every part manually. First xorg then some window manager like Muffin (default for Cinnamon).

But for now I give up.
