ok, so sorry to waste your time, but this looks like a non-issue. i switched from 'None' to 'Minimized' and ran xfdesktop; no 'Desktop' was created. then i switched back to 'None' again, and still no 'Desktop' was created. i'm betting that there was some kind of difference between settings on one of the xfce upgrades (maybe when i upgraded from 4.4). maybe this is something that will need to be handled for lenny->squeeze upgrades? or maybe documenting the workaround in the release notes would be sufficient? i have two other virtual machines that are still demonstrating this behavior if you want me to look at anything else. i did try 'strace -f' before and did not see any reference to 'Desktop'. mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
