One option is to uninstall xfdesktop. Get the source code, then compile and install it. I don't know how painful this would be. This also means you would have to update it manually. I don't recommend to do it, unless you really know what to do.
Not sure if there are ready binary packages for xfdesktop, that would be easier way. I have been on Xubuntu 13.10 quite long time and it has worked fine. So upgrading might be the easiest option. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1190990 Title: Xfce4 mess up with icon positions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/1190990/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
