LXDE desktop doesn't save changes

Hi there.

I've a strange problem on my Arch X64 LXDE. Any time now, my LXDE desktop doesn't save changes/configuration.

That is, the desktop has returned to its initial configuration (with the LXDE wallpaper, default icon font theme, etc).

This is not happening with LXPanel or some xfwm4 configuration. Only the desktop.

What is happening?

How are you making the changes?

As a side note, while LXDE still worked pretty well last time I used it, LXQt is under more active development these days (see [1]). It's the result from the merger of the original LXDE project and razor-qt. So you might consider using that instead. I don't think it's related to this issue you're having, but it might be easier to get support with LXQt if you run into more complicated problems.

Well, putting wallpaper with right click, moving icons with left click, etc etc.

Thanks for the suggestion (LXQt).

Try

 pcmanfm -w <wallpaper>

to set the lxde background. Also, you need to change

wallpaper_mode=1

in ~/.config/pcmanfm/lxde/pcmanfm.conf.

Hth,

Yes, I know that, but I want to move icons and that stuff.

I finally find, presumably, with a bug. That, If I move an icon, anywhere, the desktop config resets with no reason.
