Does the same issue happen in a newly created user account?

Comment 2 Matthieu Paret 2011-04-25 09:12:39 CEST
No, all perfectly work in a newly created user account. 
(Desktop icon, and click right on desktop)
Comment 3 Ahmad Samir 2011-04-25 16:48:06 CEST
- Which display manager is used? KDM or GDM?

After upgrading, did you follow the instructions in /usr/share/doc/mageia-xfce-config-common/README.update.urpmi ?
Comment 4 Matthieu Paret 2011-04-27 08:10:33 CEST
I 'm reading /usr/share/doc/mageia-xfce-config-common/README.update.urpmi, i didn't know this. I will test this evening.

(is that possible to automate these commands at installation ?)

GDM is used.
Comment 5 Ahmad Samir 2011-04-27 09:35:24 CEST
It's not recommended that an rpm post installation script touches files in the user's /home dir, so no, they can't be automated...

But, the contents of README.update.urpmi are displayed every time mageia-xfce-config-common is updated.
Comment 6 Remco Rijnders 2011-08-23 08:01:06 CEST
Hi Matthieu, can you please let us know if following /usr/share/doc/mageia-xfce-config-common/README.update.urpmi fixed this issue for you? If yes, we can close this bug report. Thanks!
