 Another option, that may work for some, is to check the options of the program that you are using to connect remotely, and if it has a "Remove Wallpaper" option or a "Do Not Display Wallpaper" option, then enable that option. I use TightVNCviewer and it does not have a Remove Wallpaper option, therefore changing the background color to white is the only solution for me. Another option, that may work for some, is to check the options of the program that you are using to connect remotely, and if it has a "Remove Wallpaper" option or a "Do Not Display Wallpaper" option, then enable that option.

-===== How to use the alternative GNOME-menu ===== 
- 
-If you want to use the new menu from GNOME, with quick starters for favorites applications and such, you can use the [[http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-xfapplet-plugin|xfapplet panel plugin]] with the GNOME main menu applet.  The menu should be installed with your package system, look for **gnome-main-menu**.  [[http://wirelessimage4.pbwiki.com/f/Screenshot.png|Xfce screenshot]], [[http://www.novell.com/video/desktop/|video]]. 
- 
-Add a new xfapplet item inside your panel, and open its properties dialog to add the GNOME menu applet. 
- 
-If you don't like GNOME main menu, try Ubuntu System Panel, available in several distributions.

-===== Use mnemonics to create Thunar Custom Actions ===== 
- 
-When you create a [[http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/documentation/custom_actions|Thunar Custom Action]] you can set the name with an underscore "_" before a letter to use it as mnemonic.  When you right click in a Thunar view, you can type the letter to access your custom action.
