Sure. 

No change. Hmmm, except that the panel task manager has suddenly decided
to stack the window buttons in two rows, rather than one, as before.
(Going back to slim reverts this. Whee!)

Attached. 

Hmmm, I find this interesting, considering I do not have, and never
have, two screens.

  option name="imagepath_0_0" type="string" value="/usr/share/wallpapers/Brotherhood-Of-The-Thumb-2.JPG"
  option name="imagepath_0_1" type="string" value="/usr/share/xfce4/backdrops/xfce-smoke.png"

(I've removed the angle brackets) 

If I edit the file to remove all references to the "_0_1" variants,
there's...no change, and they've been added back.

Hmmm. maybe I do have two "monitors". I've got a radeon 9200 card with
both VGA and DVI out, although they are the mirror output (that is,
it doesn't support different views on each connector). If I switch my
monitor to use the VGA out, it...doesn't fix the problem. Sigh.

I do have two workspaces, but they show the same background.

My xorg.conf had two entries for "Device", but only the first one was
referenced, and removing the second changed nothing. The Screen entry
had two "Display" subsections, one for default 24 bit depth, one for 16
bit depth, but removing the unused 16 bit subsection changed nothing.
I've attached my current xorg.conf, too.

Okay, if I edit the "Screen 1" tab to be the same as "Screen 0", I
get the desired background. Interesting. Why does it think I have two
screens? Why is it defaulting to "Screen 1", rather than "Screen 0"? If
it really thinks that I'm on "Screen 1", why did changing the options on
the "Screen 0" tab affect the display?
