Bug Description

When first opening the Desktop settings dialog (xfdesktop-settings) the list of available wallpaper does not display. Instead, only one image displays and a fragment (highlight) of another. If I click in the wallpaper white space or go to one of the other tabs and return, the images are displayed properly. Looks like the initial draw of the applet isn't properly drawing all of wallpapers.

It happens occasionally when opening xfdesktop-settings for the first time after session start or switching to another directory. A click on the preview area restores the missing/hidden thumbnails.
