[Solved] Desktop Icon Problem

Hi,

I'm having a problem with the desktop displaying my .desktop files incorrectly. I can demonstrate this problem by dragging "About Xfce" from the menu. Instead of having the icon label set by the 'Name' property inside the .desktop file, it has the icon label be the file name. Interestingly enough Thunar displays the .desktop files perfectly.

Here is a (partial) screenshot demonstrating my problem.  As you'll probably notice, the icon on the left is in a Thunar window.

I'm running Xfce 4.8, which I compiled myself.

This was fixed in 4.8.1 of Xfdesktop and 4.8.2 has been released as well.

Sweet! 
So I'm guessing that I simply need to download the latest version and recompile?
I'll give it a try.
