Public bug reported:

1) Release: Xubuntu 8.04

2) Source package: xfdesktop

3) Package version: 4.4.2-5ubuntu1

4) I expect, that when in Applications -> Settings -> Settings manager
-> Desktop -> Behavior I uncheck the "Use system font size" option,
xfdesktop will use the size given in the "Custom font size" spinbox.

5) Instead of that, when I uncheck it first, it will use a size of 0px
for the desktop icons' font size, so the text is unreadable (I will
attach a screenshot with the checked and the unchecked state).

6) How to reproduce the bug?
This problem only happens, if the "Custom font size" option never changed, 
because if a change happens, the xfce-mcs-manager will store the value of the 
font size, and when unchecking the "Use system font size" checkbox, xfdesktop 
will load the stored setting. But if is no stored setting, xfdesktop will use 
the 0px. 

7) Possible solution (#1)
Make xfce-mcs-manager store the value of the spinbox, when the spinbox change 
its state from insensitive to sensitive. (I think think this is the better 
solution.)
The first source file (behavior-settings.c), that I will attach, contains this 
solution. 

8) Possible solution (#2)
Modify xfdesktop, to use a more sensible default value, such as 12px. 
The second source file (xfce-desktop-settings.c), that I will attach contains 
this solution. 

The two fixes are tested on my machine, and both worked well, but of
course they needs more testing and review because I'm not a very
experienced programmer :-)

Please let me know if I have to give more explanation or any other
information!

Thanks,
Urbán Dániel
