Bug Description

precise build of 04-18-2012, fresh install of ubuntu desktop and XFCE4

I stopped xfdesktop in XFCE, started nautilus, try to change the desktop via right click on the desktop:

nautilus open system settings, but there is no possibility to change wallpaper. This is different in Ubuntu 11.10:

there I get a window to change the background!

Help is very much appreciated!

(nautilus in XFCE is very handy and reliable for displaying icons for local media in LTSP)

Thank you for your bug report, that's not really a bug, the background capplet .desktop has "OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;", not sure why if that's a decision from the xfce team to filter most items out or a bug though

subscribing "xubuntu team" for input, not sure if they want the capplet and others to show under xfce or not
