Just change the background? I don't think XFCE should change because cats are attacking monitors.

I think those cats need some upgrade. If they are not compatible with XFCE that's rather not XFCE's fault.

Long story short: the so-called bug -> monitor damage is not caused by code but cat - obviously NOT `/usr/bin/cat` ;-)

Really? Don't you think they have a responsibility to all thier cat owning users? It must be close to 100%!
