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?
Reporter: need more information here. Also, are you running with or without xinerama?
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.
Created attachment 1431 fix-multihead-settings-change.diff 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.
Created attachment 1432 fix-multihead-settings-change-v2.diff Er, sorry about that. Wrong patch. This one should work.
