Description Shlomi Fish 2014-04-02 11:51:01 CEST 
Description of problem:

After I start XFCE using startx in a new user on Cauldron, the background gets overrided to a certain colour (I presume it is the default colour of XFCE). There's an easy fix - just run "xkill" and point it on the background or run "pkill xfdesktop".

I have not tried with loginning in using a display manager yet. It also happens after a reboot.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Cauldron.

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run startx as a new user while using XFCE.
2. Run a terminal.
3. Wait for the default Mageia wallpaper to be overrided.


Reproducible:

OK, I Was now able to reproduce this problem when logging-in to XFCE using prefdm. The same workaround I described is still working there.
