Hi,

quit xfdesktop and let nautilus handle the desktop. Ensure that the
"--no-desktop" option isn't enabled by nautilus' preferences.

  xfdesktop --quit && nautilus --no-default-window &

Note, I didn't test this, since nautilus even isn't installed on my
machine, I just read the man pages.

Consider to run
  
  xfdesktop --help
  nautlius --help

as well as

  man xfdesktop
  man nautilus

or assuming man pages shouldn't be installed, search for
"Ubuntu man nautilus" etc. with a web browser.

Regards,
Ralf
