Hi Brian,

Ok, some testing :

- The "Don't set backdrop" option still crashes xfdesktop
- Settings aren't loaded, I had to run the dialog to get the settings
applied as it seems (and get the crash)
- Color gradient does nothing.
- Menu tab is totally empty (you prolly already know about that, but
still, looks odd)
- The tabfolders inside tabfolders doesn't look too good to me (from a
usability standpoint)

Cheers,
Olivier.
