Xfdesktop is a desktop manager for the Xfce Desktop Environment. It handles the following tasks:
- background image / color
- root menu, window list
- minimized app icons
- file icons on the desktop (using Thunar libs)
It can bring up an applications menu and a list of all running applications when you click on the desktop with the right or middle mouse button respectively. Settings are available via the Settings Manager.
