Like proposed here: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11266#c123 Insideeach *.rc file, one could store the path to the wallpaper, the related icon grid for the screen, the icon-size for the screen and possibly more. This would have multiple benefits: - Proper fix for icon reorder problem: Bug #11266 - Fixes "seperate icons for different screens" Bug #9774 - Background image not saved per monitor - Bug #12385 This would be a bigger change and possibly require a separate development branch.
Forget about *.rc files .... there are already per monitor settings of xfdesktop inside xfconf. Just add the grid settings there. Possible to add them even per workspace. E.g: GridItem_01_01: "/home/schwinn/Desktop/HexChat.desktop" GridItem_04_05: "/home/schwinn/Desktop/Eclipse.desktop" ... Or, if semi-generic propery-names should be a problem for xfconf: GridItem01: [ "1", "1", "/home/schwinn/Desktop/HexChat.desktop" ] GridItem02: [ "4", "5", "/home/schwinn/Desktop/Eclipse.desktop" ] ...
- As proposed in Bug #11266, as well in xfconf there should be some link to "latest", so that e.g. plugging in a different monitor will still load the latest configuration. Possibly sufficient to always load the config fo "monitor0" in this case.
