Bug Description
Binary package hint: xfdesktop4
-Ubuntu 11.04 amd64
-Xubuntu 11.04 amd64
-Mythbuntu 11.04 amd64
When I open up the context menu on the desktop and select Create From Template > Empty File, no such file is being created.
This works inside a folder (I am using the default thunar) where I can bring up the context menu, select Create Document > Empty File and a file gets created.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.
I can reproduce this on an upgrade from Xubuntu 10.10 to Xubuntu Natty beta2. I am able to create folders on the Desktop, but not files.
Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
