This bug has not been fixed for years now (I saw first reports of this from 2010 in the net). And __no__, it is definitely not fixed.
I just (Sep 4th, 2014) installed a brand new Xubuntu
$cat /etc/os-release NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="14.04.1 LTS, Trusty Tahr" ID=ubuntu ID_LIKE=debian PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS" VERSION_ID="14.04" HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/" SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/" BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
$xfdesktop -V This is xfdesktop version 4.11.6, running on Xfce 4.10. Built with GTK+ 2.24.23, linked with GTK+ 2.24.23.
and the issue is still there. After a very short time, I have 6 resolution files with resolutions I never used.
~/.config/xfce4/desktop$ ls -1 icons*
icons.screen0-1894x1100.rc icons.screen0-1904x1097.rc icons.screen0-1904x1098.rc icons.screen0-1904x1100.rc icons.screen0-1904x1147.rc icons.screen0-1904x1184.rc
but the one with my screen resolution, i.e..
icons.screen0-1920x1080.rc
is still missing.
xfdesktop4 developers: Please, if you are not able to fix this in a normal time frame, how about an option that instructs xfdesktop to just use a plain single name (instead of one with resolutions)
Thanks tomsam
