If the filemanager is xffm, then you should disable the deskview. You can 
do that by defining the environment variable XFFM_DISABLE_DESKTOP to 
anything. This can be done with your login script or mcs-manager. You can 
also change the command to open the filemanager to "xffm-iconview 
--no-desktop" to avoid xffm-deskview.

Instead of rebooting, just "killall xffm-deskview"
