I have the same issue on my openSUSE 11.2 and this most likely due to a
crontab that changes the wallpaper.

Well, the problem is that it does not really change the wallpaper. It
restarts the xfdesktop.

That is annoying on several levvels.
1) When I just did a right click to see the menu, that is gone
2) in about 20% of the times, it does not start up correctly and I have
not found a way to start it up from crontab, so I have to launch it up
manually.

A working wallpaper changer would be a good solution to this.
