Arch Linux

Description:

For a long time, my xfce desktop would come up without the Trash icon in about 5% to 15% of bootups/restarts. Tried inserting delays here and there but nothing worked until I noticed I also had placed the Trash Applet on my panel. Removing the trash applet fixed the issue: the trash desktop icon is now always present on bootup. Something seems to be racing, therefore...

Note, this issue is not (primarily) involved with the no. 1 google hit for xfce an Trash icon stuff. I have all that gvfs stuff working normally. Things just break (a bit, sometimes) when also having the Trash Applet present on the panel.

Likely an upstream issue, but I'm hoping this bugzilla can work as a funnel. As a user, it's a little undoable to maintain accounts on bugzillas for this many upstream packages...

Additional info:
* package version(s)

Has affected package versions from, say, a year ago to now. My xfce4-panel version is currently 4.8.6-1.

* config and/or log files etc.

N/A

Steps to reproduce:

Have a Trash desktop-icon, place the Trash Applet on a panel, and restart a few dozen times. Maybe -- if your system doesn't have wildly different timing parameters.
