Hello everone,

in xubuntu is the default content of xfce4-desktop.xml this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<channel name="xfce4-desktop" version="1.0">
  <property name="backdrop" type="empty">
     <property name="screen0" type="empty">
       <property name="monitor0" type="empty">
           <property name="last-image" type="string" 
value="/usr/share/backgrounds/PC-vor-Ort.png"/>
           <property name="backdrop-cycle-enable" type="bool" value="true"/>
           <property name="backdrop-cycle-timer" type="uint" value="1"/>
           <property name="backdrop-cycle-random-order" type="bool" 
value="true"/>
       </property>
       <property name="monitor1" type="empty">
           <property name="last-image" type="string"

           <property name="backdrop-cycle-timer" type="uint" value="1"/>
           <property name="backdrop-cycle-random-order" type="bool"

       </property>
     </property>
   </property>
   <property name="desktop-icons" type="empty">

In new system-installations with XFCE 4.16 will be  generated a 
xfce4-desktop.xml with the Group "<property name="monitorDisplayPort-0" 
type="empty">" after first user-login.


I would create own Distribution Default-Settings for Backdrops. But I 
don't know which Property-Name for the Monitor will be created.
Can I use a WILDCARD in my xfce4-desktop.xml for the Monitor-Name, 
perhaps "monitor*"?

At this time, I found no solution to Copy a default xfce4-desktop.xml to 
the User-Directory at start to set Default Backdrop-Settings.
