Desktop background loads then fades out, Zenwalk 6.2, XFCE


Hi the Desktop background image, icons all load when i log in then fade out leaving me with a plain background, no image, no desktop icons and none of the keyboard shortcuts work,

Any ideas?

Barring the obvious of checking the desktop settings in the settings manager to make sure there is nothing weird there, I would check running processes to see that xfdesktop is running and doesn't quit. (Or right click on the desktop. If I recall, xfdesktop has to be running to get a right click menu.)

If you are running compiz, or another window/desktop manager, it could be interfering. Make sure xfwm is running correctly.
