The problem here is that the desktop is not being synchronized correctly when using a symbolic link as desktop reference.
Example: You have to remove your desktop first to be able to create the symlink, you can do this by: mv ~/Desktop ~/Desktop.bak #make a dir to redirect your desktop to mkdir ~/test #make the symbolic link ln -s ~/test ~/Desktop #create a file in your desktop touch ~/Desktop/test.txt #check if your desktop screen is synchronized. File test.txt not shown at the desktop and had to manually synchronize the desktop (Ctrl+R) pkill xfdesktop mv ~/Desktop ~/Desktop.bak mkdir ~/test ln -s ~/test ~/Desktop xfdesktop & # (wait for xfdesktop to start) touch ~/Desktop/test.txt Can someone please test this on a xubuntu machine? -- xubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
