xfce 4.6 doesn't refresh desktop?

Post by rizzeh »

Hi all,
First off, very impressed with Mint 6 XFCE edition, probably friendliest distro i've ever tried and all this on CD install - sweet! OK, my nVidia SLi setup crashed restricted drivers install, but that's nvidia config fault, fix that after a while :)
Upgraded Xfce to 4.6 which went well, apart from a little but annoying bug where Xfce/Thunar doesn't refresh the desktop, I have to hit F5 after any cp/mv command to see changes, i can't find any sort of settings for refresh desktop, anyone else came a across it?
Thank you

thanks I tried it, didn't work for me. I did some research, it seem like not refreshing is normal Thunar operation, it isn't the end of the world, will have to use F5 more often. 8)

Have you tried Settings/Desktop Settings - Allow xfce to manage the desktop?

If you are using compiz you could switch that off for a while and see if that makes a difference.

yes, Allow xfce manage desktop is on and I don't use compiz - it messes with my games :)

I wonder if 4.6.1 addresses this, it was released today.

I updated fully today with a new install and this is still a problem. I also have to use F5 to refresh the desktop.

I think this is something "built in" in XFCE, but I'm not quite sure
