Description Ben 2020-04-03 07:00:13 CEST
I am currently setting up a multihead system on dual gpus. I am currently working through multiple issues, but i appear to have found a fringe case issue that has been overlooked. When opening the xfce4-settings-manager and going to Desktop while on the second screen (display :0.1, which is currently having issues), it displays "This is some text" without the quotes in orange directly under the Background tab (where it normally says "Wallpaper for my desktop" in white). This appears to be some debug message that is very unhelpful and has been overlooked.

Everything is working correctly on screen 0, but due to issues that I am working on I cannot set a background or do much with screen 1. The point of this bug report is the "This is some text".

if it helps, This is what gets printed in the terminal when it occurs:
(xfdesktop-settings:436372): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 00:57:14.802: invalid (NULL) pointer instance

(xfdesktop-settings:436372): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 00:57:14.802: g_signal_connect_data: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed

This is a bugreport against xfdesktop. As this component was already migrated to gitlab please reopen this report (if it still applies) on https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/-/issues
