I've been using XFCE4 for a while now after switching from KDE - much quicker to load, simple layout, does what I want it to do...until now.

I set a nice simple desktop layout - panel at the bottom, icons growing up the right hand side, taskbar at the top, a plain purple background with a small picture of my cat in the middle so I have a friendly face to look at when all windows are closed - my one concession to eye candy!

Last night, while I was checking my emails, my desktop changed itself! I still have the same XFCE4 layout of panel, icons and taskbar, but my purple & cat background disappeared and was replaced with what looks like KDE! Blue background, stars & 10 logo bottom right, and a sprinkling of icons - the very same icons that I created on my desktop when I used KDE!

Too tired to deal with it last night, so closed down & left it to the morning. Booted & logged in this morning, got a quick flash of my normal purple & cat background, then the KDE lookalike background appeared again!!!

Right-clicking on the desktop itself, and selecting the "Change Desktop Background" option, I get the standard Mandrake choices - what I'm seeing at the moment. And I tested the icons - they work (on a double-click).

Using the XFCE4 settings launcher from the panel and choosing "Desktop:backdrop" it shows that I have selected the purple background with the centred picture of my cat - but this is not being displayed!

What have I broken? How do I fix it?
