Good idea. But the only older version I could find is 4.10 (xfce4 is at 4.12), rather than e.g. xfdesktop4_4.12.3-2_amd64.deb - current version is xfdesktop4_4.12.3-3_amd64.deb I tried dpkg -i xfdesktop4_4.12.4-1_amd64.deb and xfdesktop4-data_4.12.4-1_all.deb but after killing and restarting X, the problem persists. Do you think installing xfdesktop4_4.10.2-3_amd64.deb and xfdesktop4-data_4.10.2-3_all.deb could be sensible? TIA,
