Bug Description
Note: I am not sure which package is responsible for this bug, so I chose a very general one as I know it is related to Xfce (i.e. this issue doesn't happen in Gnome when using nautilus).
I have launched xfce-setting-show then clicked Desktop. The box " Allow Xfce to manage the desktop" is checked. Under the Behavior tab, and under Desktop Icons, "None" is selected.
When I right-click on the desktop, the normal context menu does not appear. Instead, the set wallpaper disappears and the desktop becomes black.
Then, I have to launch xfce-setting-show again. But this time I find that the aforementioned box is no longer checked.
This has happened several times.
WORKAROUND: checking "Show desktop menu on right click" under the Behavior tab.
Thanks for reporting this bug. Unfortunately, there is not enough information for the developers to resolve this. Please answer the following questions:
What version of Xubuntu is this? You can find that using 'lsb_release -rd' in a terminal.
What version of xfdesktop4? You can find that using 'apt-cache policy xfdesktop4' in a terminal.
By selecting Desktop Icons - None, you are telling Xfce you want a desktop with out icons. Do you have a color set under the Appearance tab?
