====== Desktop Manager ======

===== Introduction =====

The //xfdesktop// application manages the desktop backdrop. It sets a backdrop image and/or color and it can pop up an applications menu and a list of all running applications when you click on the desktop with the right or middle mouse button respectively. As of Xfce 4.4, //xfdesktop// also draws icons on the desktop.

The //xfdesktop// package installs a settings dialog for use with the [[../..:xfce4-settings:|Settings Manager]]. From this dialog you can change the backdrop image and color and change settings for the menu and the window list.
