[xubuntu-users] Xubuntu 14.10 - desktop problem

[Lutz Andersohn]

On the picture I would check the settings: I think there may be a
setting that the OS picks an image at random every login. Not sure about
that, though.

on your icons: I had my icons disappear and xfdesktop was the problem.
Try this and lets see what you get:
open a terminal and enter the command
#  xfdesktop --reload
see what happens

If this doesn;t do the trick,
do the following commands
#  killall xfdesktop
# xfdesktop

and post the stuff that appears in your terminal window

Out of curiosity, why did you upgrade to 14.10 and from what? 14.10 is
not released yet I believe, so you are running an OS which is still in
alpha testing. Unless you meant to do that I'd recommend you install
14.04.1 LTS instead. This is the latest long term release and works
quite nicely.
