Package: xfce4
Version: 4.10.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have a Dell Inspiron E1505/6400 laptop:

I have upgraded the RAM to 2 @ 1 GB and upgraded the processor to an
Intel Core 2 T7400.


I am running Debian 8 with Xfce:

2017-04-21 15:58:26 root at jesse ~
# cat /etc/debian_version 
8.7

2017-04-21 15:58:48 root at jesse ~
# uname -a
Linux jesse 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.39-1+deb8u2 (2017-03-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux

2017-04-21 15:59:24 root at jesse ~
# dpkg-query --show xfce4
xfce4	4.10.1


I use an IOGEAR KVM switch:

I use an external keyboard, mouse, and LCD monitor (1920x1080
resolution) via a KVM switch.


When I first installed Debian 8, the wallpaper functioned correctly.


After updating Debian several weeks ago, the wall paper changed to
default (1024x768), tiled, and I am unable to adjust the wallpaper image
or the geometry.


I posted to the debain-user mailing list several
weeks ago:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/04/msg00120.html


At that time, I indicated that the bug appeared after upgrading to the
following packages:
