Package: xfdesktop4
Hi,
I have upgraded from Bookworm to Trixie recently.
While the upgrade generally worked fine, I now have no longer any icons on
the desktop, right-clicking on the desktop does nothing as well.
I'm also unable to choose a different desktop background image.
It seems there is some sort of a fallback image shown...
This all worked fine under Bookworm.
Any pointers where to look for?
I found that I have no xfdesktop process running.
Is this correct?
Thanks!
So long
Holger

I did a test install in a virtual machine with a fresh trixie installation,
and there I had a xfdesktop process, when the xfce4 session is running.
So I think that process is missing somehow.
I added xfdesktop to 'Application Autostart' in xfce4-session-settings, and
all works fine again!!!
Means, for whatever reason the xfdesktop process was not started automatically,
while it was under Bookworm !!!
(Please note, that I already asked, if it's ok, that there is no such process!)
Closing this bug.
