2008-12-28 21:28:51 Charlie Kravetz xfce4: statusexplanation 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?

2008-12-30 18:13:09 Charlie Kravetz 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.
