xfdesktop --reload no longer reloads
I've looked through the other "issues" and this may be the same problem as xfdesktop/Issues/#402 (closed) "Wallpaper no longer updates...", but I'm not sure.
Issue Description
In the past, when I point the Xfce desktop to a particular *.jpg image (which in this case is a link) to use as the background and then update the link to point to another image, the command xfdesktop --reload no longer updates the desktop background image, as of Fedora 42. The man page for xfdesktop --reload still says that this "redraws the desktop background", but it apparently doesn't anymore.
Steps to Reproduce Issue
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.point xfdesktop to a particular background image (e.g. "background.jpg")
2.replace "background.jpg" with another jpg image (e.g. cp image2.jpg backgroun
d.jpg)
3.xfdesktop --reload
Actual Results:
Nothing. xfdesktop no longer reloads the new "background.jpg" image. I suspect that someone decided that if the filename doesn't change, that the image doesn't change.
Expected Behavior
xfdesktop --reload should reload the new image regardless of the similarly in the filename.
