Hi XFCE,

if relative paths are used for wallpapers in xfce4-desktop.xml
like <property name="image-path" value="my-wallpaper.jpg" />
xfdesktop seams not to search in XFCE_RESOURCE_DIRS.

In constrast, icons in .desktop-files used in application menu are found if they are located in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons/ (which is part of XFCE_RESOURCE_DIRS).
No absolute path is needed here.

It would be great, if xfdesktop would search XFCE_RESOURCE_DIRS for wallpaper paths, too.

Best,
Jens Henrik
