--- Comment #3 from Andre Miranda <andreldm at xfce.org> ---
This is the TWP code that handles wallpaper changes:
https://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/tree/plugins/thunar-wallpaper/twp-provider.c?id=4c0755516183053f5aa23c90f6e3f133a5e49f0b#n309

The problem here is that TWP only sets the wallpaper for the monitor name (e.g.
monitorVirtual1) and Xfdesktop (4.12, used by Debian Testing) tries to read the
wallpaper for the monitor number. Notice that compatibility for an older format
(Xfdesktop < 4.11) is still present, but for the new format either the monitor
name or number is taken, not both.

>From what I could gather:
Thunar 1.8.x + Xfdesktop 4.13 = wallpaper set correctly
Thunar 1.6.x + Xfdesktop 4.12 = wallpaper set correctly
Thunar 1.8.x + Xfdesktop 4.12 = wallpaper NOT set
Thunar 1.6.x + Xfdesktop 4.13 = wallpaper NOT set

One possible fix is to set the wallpaper for both monitor name and number,
however the thunarx-3 integration doesn't work with Xfdesktop 4.12, for this
reason I don't think we should worry about those versions, the proper fix is to
release Xfce 4.14 as soon as possible so this would be a problem anymore.
