I have two monitors and and mirror disabled -> desktop enhance -> right monitor is the main screen selected !

Two problems:

a.) Application right click menu on desktop is missing -> but is selected in the desktop preferences -> menu task !

b.) the standard icons (for example the trash) on desktop are not selectable and if i create a new folder on the desktop i see it on two desktops !

I have deleted the ~/.config/xfce4 folder and create new panel and setup etc but the problem is not solved and is still again here :-(

What can I do ?

The same setup with another computer with only one monitor and one desktop -> no problems and works perfect !!

Thanks !

kind regards

Re: XFCE DUAL Monitor right klick app menu and icons on desktop

Sounds like xfdesktop might not be managing your desktop. Can you confirm what is?

ps -ef | grep -i desktop

Huh. I wondered at the odd ASCII modern art that I couldn't make head or tail out of...

Ah, so that's what it is.

Err... Sorry that I cannot help you with your issue but still decided to post in your thread roll . But I just saw an example of why folks generally like to see terminal output displayed within CODE tags, lol. Obviously, it makes no functional difference in this particular situation - but if you're ever dealing with an issue in which the original formatting might make a difference in getting help, well....

Re: XFCE DUAL Monitor right klick app menu and icons on desktop

Your output is missing the user column. Are you running xfdesktop as root while logging in as user?

Try running xfdesktop in debug mode:

xfdesktop -Q

...then:

xfdesktop -e

See what messages you get in the terminal window.

Re: XFCE DUAL Monitor right klick app menu and icons on desktop

Perhaps there is an issue with your Xfce startup. Can you please try clearing out your sessions cache the manual way:

1. Log out
2. From a text console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), log in
3. Issue the following commands:

cd .cache
rm -rf sessions

4. Go back to your graphic console (normally, Ctrl+Alt+F7)
5. Log in and see if xfdesktop works properly.

Yes. The saved sessions sometimes get corrupted and need to be cleared out.
