ok, so sorry to waste your time, but this looks like a non-issue. i
switched from 'None' to 'Minimized' and ran xfdesktop; no 'Desktop' was
created. then i switched back to 'None' again, and still no 'Desktop'
was created. i'm betting that there was some kind of difference
between settings on one of the xfce upgrades (maybe when i upgraded from
4.4).
maybe this is something that will need to be handled for lenny->squeeze
upgrades? or maybe documenting the workaround in the release notes
would be sufficient?
i have two other virtual machines that are still demonstrating this
behavior if you want me to look at anything else. i did try 'strace
-f' before and did not see any reference to 'Desktop'.
