When I create new file in $HOME/Desktop directory, the desktop icon is not created automatically - I have to press F5 to see new file. I'm using Xubuntu 6.06.1, xfce installed using xfce graphical installer. Previously I used xfce 4.3.90.1 without such problem.
Be sure gamin is installed, and that thunar-vfs is compiled with gamin support. FYI, this is a bug report for ubuntu, not for xfce. Go report it there.
Thanks for a reply.
