Hi, upon reading this bugreport (because i saw the same behaviour: no desktop background image, no desktop right click menu plus: no xfce menu addable to any panel), and the contained tip to start xfdesktop, i found out that on my box xfdesktop4 wasn't installed at all. I had to install it manually. Maybe this was because there were some problems during the latest dist-upgrade (of which the exact nature i don't recall. But it involved apt-get -f install and removing supercollider temporarily). Looking at what synaptic thinks about xfce4's dependencies (which _includes_ xfdesktop4), i wonder what went wrong.
Anyways, installing xfdesktop4 and running it manually and then saving the session worked fine. Flo -- Palimm Palimm! http://tapas.affenbande.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
