I can confirm that there is something wrong with icon scaling. The size of some icons increases significantly when changed from size 32 to 33 via the desktop settings dialog.

The initial desktop icon size is set to 36px. However, PNG icon files do not get scaled and fall back to the next bigger size like 32px or 48px.

The issue I reported (1273821) also reports that by installing Nvidia proprietary drivers the transparent rectangle behind the text will also disappear.

Anyone else can confirm this? Reverting to the Nvidia Open Source drivers and deleting XFCE4 configuration file will not fix this problem.

Paulo, please file a separate bug report for your second issue. It might be related to bug 1270261 (not hardware/driver specific).

The issue isn't quite the similar since the icons are not semi transparent as reported in Bug 1270261. On my system they are 100% opaque, but have bold text and no rectangle around the text. The issue on "Desktop Icons size" is also present, but this thread already covers it.
