xfdesktop woes

[Olivier]

Brian,

Last time I checked, ie a week or so ago, multihead support in xfdesktop
was broken in that it was causing an warning and did not display the
backdrop on the second head (something about the size of the pixbuf
being negative or something)

I did the test with Xnest which could be a potential cause of problems
by itself though :)

Cheers,
Olivier.
