I have been looking for it for an hour. Would someone please tell me where they moved the Setting -> desktop settings -> Let "xfce manage my desktop" check box????

I *think* they got rid of it entirely. At least that's what I recall from my googling for the same information after upgrading to 4.6

yeah the menu editor is gone too.
i read somewhere that they were supposed to be adding alacarte support to make menu editing easier. anyone know what release this is going to be included in?

Possibly 4.8 (?): http://gezeiten.org/post/2009/02/Thoughts-on-libxfce4menu-for-Xfce-48.

It also seems there's going to be some deep changes in the next 6 months or so, such as the retirement of ThunarVFS and its replacement with GIO: http://jeromeg.blog.free.fr/index.php?post/2009/04/13/Xfce-developers%2C-Jannis-Pohlmann.
