In any case the reason I am posting this is because after the upgrade, I launch xfce4 using startx and all went ok, yet when I am in my desktop and I try assessing the "home" or "filesystem" icons, they just appear to blink and never get launched, is any of you having this issue, I am not sure if this is a software bug that xfce4 is having. If any experience this, please elaborate. Lisandro


Hi Lisandro,
have you got Thunar installed? those icons launch your file manager, which by default is the Thunar file manager. I am not sure if there is a way to replace it for other.

You may want to check ~/.xsession-errors to see if there are any errors being issued by xfdesktop or Thunar itself.
