Thanks to the Xfce developers! Today, I added the Xubutu developer's staging PPA to my Linux Mint Xfce 19.2 LTS installation and upgraded my Xfce to 4.14. Now, I am able to choose to put the desktop icons on the primary monitor. This way, I can see the desktop icons on any monitor in my triple-monitor setup by designating the monitor as the primary one.
This did cause some other glitches, such as not being able to install the trash applet or the screenshot applet on the panel, but I found workarounds for these issues. I am very pleased that the desktop icons issue has apparently been solved. I hope that the Mint developers will incorporate Xfce 4.14 soon, so that users will not need to use a PPA. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575729 Title: [Xubuntu] Can't place desktop icons to the 2nd monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1575729/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
