Summary:                    make xfdesktop less picky about backdrops.list
Description: 
i made a small script that finds all my images and puts >> them into my
backdrops.list file. xfdesktop will only accept the file if it does _not_
end with a line-break. 
this behaviour is kind of annoying since making a big list takes a bit
more work then it should.

it'd be nice if it would just accept plain ASCII files with a linebreak
such as generated by scripts.

xfce version?

i'm not seeing the problem with current CVS.  xfdesktop _does_ create
.list files without a \n at the end, but putting one there doesn't make it
stop working.

Sorry, 4.0.6
Ok if it's fixed in CVS it should be allright, i'll wait for 4.0.7 then.

no, it's fixed for the upcoming 4.2.x branch, not for 4.0.x.  if someone
wants to come up with a patch to fix 4.0.x, that's fine, but i don't
really have the time or inclination.
