Comment 0 for bug 329616

A recent upgrade (two-three days ago), resulted in the following problem:

1. XFCE session starts with flickering icons on desktop and multiple windows (attached) showing message "Unable to contact the Xfce Trash service."
2. Dozens (sometimes over 50) copies of xfdesktop process are started (see attached output of ps).

Killing all those xfdesktop processes results in absence of desktop wallpaper and icons, but at least the computer becomes usable. I also tried eliminating all but one xfdesktop entries in XFCE session configuration (Xfce4 Settings Manager -> Session and Startup -> Session tab), but on next login the same multiple xfdesktop processes are started again.
