Distro: Slackware 12.0
XFCE: 4.4.1

"Desktop Preferences -> Behavior -> Desktop Icons"  settings only apply to the first screen in a dual head setup. No matter what setting you change it to, only the first screen (screen 0) will apply the setting. Even after logging out and back in.

So, this is for Brian...

Which settings in particular aren't being applied?
Comment 3 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2007-11-02 17:21:03 CET
Reporter: need more information here.  Also, are you running with or without xinerama?
Comment 4 Julian Picht 2007-11-05 10:46:06 CET
I've got the same problem.

Disto: Debian lenny/sid
xfdesktop: 4.4.1 on Xfce: 4.4.1
GTK+: 2.12.1

Buildtime settings:
 - GTK+ 2.10.13
 - program-menu: true
 - symbols on desktop: true
 - symbols for files .. : true

I'm using two monitors (screen0: lcd@1280x1024; screen1: crt@640x480) without xinerama.

When switching the 'icons on desktop' mode it does only instantly apply to screen0. After restarting xfce it does also apply to screen1. But it is not possible to change the setting for only one monitor.

Ok, this should be fixed in svn now, 4.4 and trunk.

I can't really test this since I lack a multihead system, but here's a patch you can apply (with 'patch -p0 < fix-multihead-settings-change.diff' in the root of the xfdesktop source tree) that you can use.

Er, sorry about that.  Wrong patch.  This one should work.
