Bug Description

On the desktop, right clicking Desktop Settings -> Behavior.

Currently, I have File/launcher icons selected under Desktop icons, along with "Show icons" for home and file system.

Lets say I want to display trash, so I click on the checkbox for trash. Nothing happens.

If I then change Desktop Icons from File/launcher icons to none or minimized applications icons and then back to File/launcher icons, the desktop icons are properly updated.

solution that worked for me is to disable checkbox ¨allow xfce to manage the desktop¨ en then enable it again ...

At the moment you have to restart the desktop for this to be effective.
