This bug has not been fixed for years now (I saw first reports of this from 2010 in the net).
And __no__, it is definitely not fixed.

I just (Sep 4th, 2014) installed a brand new Xubuntu

$cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="14.04.1 LTS, Trusty Tahr"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS"
VERSION_ID="14.04"
HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"

$xfdesktop -V
This is xfdesktop version 4.11.6, running on Xfce 4.10.
Built with GTK+ 2.24.23, linked with GTK+ 2.24.23.

and the issue is still there. After a very short time, I have 6 resolution files with resolutions I never used.

~/.config/xfce4/desktop$ ls -1 icons*

icons.screen0-1894x1100.rc
icons.screen0-1904x1097.rc
icons.screen0-1904x1098.rc
icons.screen0-1904x1100.rc
icons.screen0-1904x1147.rc
icons.screen0-1904x1184.rc

but the one with my screen resolution, i.e..

icons.screen0-1920x1080.rc

is still missing.

xfdesktop4 developers: Please, if you are not able to fix this in a normal time frame, how about an option that instructs xfdesktop to just use a plain single name (instead of one with resolutions)

Thanks
