So if you right click on the desktop, then go to settings->desktop , you can't set the wallpaper? _________________ Personal overlay | Simple backup scheme |

Thunar should not be required to get desktop functionality -- that is provided by xfdesktop, which is pulled in by the xfce4-meta package.
With xfdesktop installed you should be able to right click and set the wallpaper. _________________ Personal overlay | Simple backup scheme |

Only if you have the "thunar" USE flag enabled. Without this USE flag, xfdesktop won't automatically install Thunar, but you still get the right-click menu and the ability to set the wallpaper. _________________ Personal overlay | Simple backup scheme |

No "pwnage" here, just usually how Gentoo works: if something seemingly unnecessary is being pulled in, probably due to a USE flag. _________________ Personal overlay | Simple backup scheme |
