When I set desktop backdrop to some color (no image), it works during the session. After deconnection and reconnection, the desktop backdrop color is always black. If I set backdrop to an image, xfdesktop remember it. I use to workspaces, and set a color for each one. To reproduce this bug : 1-Open xfdesktop-settings and set desktop background to some color (no image) 2-Close then reopen your session : desktop background is back instead of being colored. Xfdesktop 4.11.2 installed on top of Xfce 4.10 Xubuntu 12.04 32 bit (with 4.10 and 4.12 ppa's)
I'm having trouble reproducing your issue. Can you post the output of: xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -lv So I can better attempt to recreate the bug?

Another indication : I have noted that if I reboot immediatly after a modification, new settings are not lost.
Hi, I have the same issue here (with a debian install), just the color after reconnection is different (red). Regards
Eric Koegel, this is consistently reproducible in Xubuntu 14.04. This would be a regression going from xfdesktop 4.10.2 to 4.11.3. xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -lv /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/color1 <<UNSUPPORTED>> /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-path /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/xfce-blue.jpg /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-show false /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/last-image /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/xfce-blue.jpg /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/last-single-image /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/xfce-blue.jpg /backdrop/screen0/monitorLVDS1/workspace0/color1 <<UNSUPPORTED>> /desktop-icons/icon-size 32 Downstream report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/1271871
Created attachment 5372 Better migration from previous versions This patch changes how xfdesktop handles migrations which hopefully fixes the issues that were showing up. Additionally, http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/commit/?id=05adaa59dbedd89b3e0ae6001ff367572c1be7d2 may help if your display driver doesn't provide a plug name. Let me know if this fixes the issue. If it doesn't, building it with: ./autogen.sh --enable-debug=full make && make install Would provide all the debug/trace messages, those might help me narrow down what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!
Hi Eric, Built and tested. The patch solves the problem here. My preferred blue background is back and remains after I reconnect. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for testing it out, pushed to master in: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/commit/?id=26feb3b13e8c3c5ea9f41a51768dec230f139f15 and then a small additional fix was pushed right after in: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/commit/?id=36387ed6c75662a42d822d32029e425ae73a556d
