Hi Brian, I located a segfault in xfdesktop. It was a little long to get it, but here it is[1]. I hope this will help you enough to fix it. How I reproduce the bug: I update/upgrade my system which takes a lot of my CPU and I/O and after a while xfdesktop crashes. Not always :) Thank you, Mike [1] gdb output: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
