2009-02-16 13:50:22 Charlie Kravetz xfdesktop4: statusexplanation @markor: please do not set the status to confirmed without setting the importance. Status tells bugsquad and developers what is happening with the bug. When it is set confirmed without importance, it tends to get ignored. 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. Thanks for taking the time to make Xubuntu better!

2009-03-03 02:31:34 Charlie Kravetz description 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.

WORKAROUND: You may have to reset some custom configuration items, such as panels, if you apply this. 1. open a terminal to do these commands 2. rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions This will delete the Xfce4 saved sessions files for your user 3. rm -rf ~/.config/xfce4/desktop This will delete the Xfce4 saved desktop files for your user 4. restart the system, without saving the session when you hit Quit/restart
