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.
Re: xfce 4.6 doesn't refresh desktop?
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
Re: xfce 4.6 doesn't refresh desktop?
I wonder if 4.6.1 addresses this, it was released today.
Re: xfce 4.6 doesn't refresh desktop?
thanks for heads up , it'll check out newer version
Re: xfce 4.6 doesn't refresh desktop?
I updated fully today with a new install and this is still a problem. I also have to use F5 to refresh the desktop.
Re: xfce 4.6 doesn't refresh desktop?
I think this is something "built in" in XFCE, but I'm not quite sure
