Description

Like proposed here: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11266#c123
Inside each *.rc file, one could store the path to the wallpaper, the related icon grid for the screen, the icon-size for the screen and possibly more.

This would have multiple benefits:

  • Proper fix for icon reorder problem: Bug #11266
  • Fixes "seperate icons for different screens" Bug #9774
  • Background image not saved per monitor - Bug #12385

This would be a bigger change and possibly require a separate development branch.

Version: Unspecified
