I am unsure of the cause but suddenly out of nowhere my wallpaper is gone XFCE settings says its still selected the desktop has no icons nor can i select anything or open the right click menu bar and applications still work perfectly fine its only the desktop

#

i've been unable to find a solution via google

#

ive tried updating and restarting the computer

#

the last actions i took before this happened were

#

logout and login and whatever happened overnight when i went to sleep

#

temporary fix found by running xfdesktop

#

however when doing xfdesktop &

#

it shows 2 running

#

however it can be returned to 1 by running killall xfdesktop and then xfdesktop

#

a more permanant fix found:

#

Open settings
open session and startup
application autostart and click add
give it whatever name make the command xfdesktop --replace and set it to start on login
