[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#377070: /usr/bin/xfce-setting-show: XFCE forgets the "Allow Xfce to manage the desktop" setting

[Andrew Maier]

Package: xfce4-mcs-manager
Version: 4.3.90.1-3
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/xfce-setting-show

Every time I log on to an XFCE4 session Xfce forgets the "Allow Xfce to
manage the desktop" in the Desktop settings dialog. Instead, I think I
am getting the gnome desktop manager instead. I have to manually set
this option every time I login. This setting is also lost when
upgrading gnome relevant libs and applications. 

Best regards,

Andrew
