Default background always displayed with xf86-video-fbdev driver
xfdesktop v4.20.0 seems to be incompatible with xf86-video-fbdev
When xf86-video-fbdev is used in X11, the wallpaper is 'stuck' on the xfce default image and can't be changed.
The image can only be changed by commenting-out the following line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Driver "fbdev"
I tracked this down to specifically xfdesktop by reverting back to xfdesktop v4.18.1 but all other components kept as v4.20.0
Everything worked perfectly fine with xf86-video-fbdev & Driver "fbdev" on all previous versions of xfce going all the way back to 2007
Here are the specs of this system.

In addition to this i9, the exact same problem also exists here on 2 different i7 machines and an Intel DualCore
