Thanks - I'll try to do an upgrade later today.

This feature was added to xfdesktop in 4.10, in previous versions it was always greyed out because the code to do the paste operation wasn't implemented.

If I copy a file to the clipboard, I can copy it into the Desktop folder in Thunar, but i can't simply right-click on the desktop and paste it - the 'Paste' item in the context menu is greyed out and inactive. Is there a way to configure XFCE to allow pasting directly onto the desktop?
