I right click on the desktop and click "Desktop Settings".
When I change the brightness and saturation, it effects only the desktop wallpaper, then I open the file manager or a pdf, their brightness doesn't get effected !
2. Changing splash screen
The default login splash screen on Xfce 4.6 is ugly, how to change it ?
3. Single click
I changed the opening of a folder from double click to single click. In file manager everything works fine, but if I single-click a folder on Desktop, it doesn't open, I have to double click it for opening !!

Right...because all you're changing is the brightness of the wallpaper. If you're on a laptop, the power-management daemon has options for screen brightness. If not, go into your hardware control panel, and adjust it there

Kindly guide...
Again, Google can lead you to an answer, if you bother to look. Single-click on the desktop in XFCE isn't doable right now, only in Thunar/file-manager.
I am sorry, I failed to mention, I meant the Login screen not the splash screen, I have already set my splash screen !

Thank you for this information, I was unaware of it

I again failed to mention that I am using a laptop that's why I can't use the monitor hardware to set the brightness.. and please explain what did you mean by "power-management daemon has options for screen brightness"
If you're on a laptop, the power-management daemon has options for screen brightness.
I googled and found the http://linux.die.net/man/8/apmd link w.r.t power-management daemon settings but couldn't find any setting related to brightness !!

Anyways I managed to download xfce4-power-manager-0.8.4.2.tar.bz2
Running ./configure after untar-ing it results in the following:
Code:
checking for libxfconf-0 >= 4.6.0... not found
*** The required package libxfconf-0 was not found on your system.
*** Please install libxfconf-0 (atleast version 4.6.0) or adjust
*** the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
*** installed the package in a nonstandard prefix so that
*** pkg-config is able to find it.
Then I found the following package in .deb format and I converted it in .rpm with the alien command:
libxfconf-0-2-4.6.1-3.ia64.rpm
Trying to install the above package by the command rpm -ivh libxfconf-0-2-4.6.1-3.ia64.rpm resulted in following:
Code:
error: Failed dependencies:
libc.so.6.1()(64bit) is needed by libxfconf-0-2-4.6.1-3.ia64
libc.so.6.1(GLIBC_2.2)(64bit) is needed by libxfconf-0-2-4.6.1-3.ia64
Now I tried to search libc.so.6.1 on google, couldn't get anything constructive,
Please help !!!!
