Using XFCE - Desktop stopped responding

Hi, got a problem. I have been using XFCE for 2 weeks with no problems, everything working nicely, set up the desktop with a nice wallpaper, menu set and working with everything. Yesterday I opened up Nautilus to manage some files (dont really like the XFCE file manager) everything seemed ok until I switched my system back on Today, XFCE loads up fine but my wallpaper has gone and changed to a blank dark screen and nothing happens when I right click on the desktop ie no menu. When I start Desktop Settings from the menu on the panel it starts up fine but when I try to set the wallpaper nothing happens. Everything else seems to be fine, taskbar, panel and all apps, just this problem with the desktop.

Can anyone help me?

First question: which files were you managing?

have you deleted the wallpaper,

Check your config files in the Home directory.

try removing ~/.cache

Open up the System Monitor and kill Nautilus.

Then using gconf-editor , edit Nautilus so it does not manage the desktop.

You might want to restart xfdesktop also.

If you do not like the Xfce filemanager you might want to take a look at Rox.

Thank you everyone for your response, I restarted xfdesktop and now everything is back to normal, for some reason xfdesktop was started when xfce is started.

Thanks

Brian
