I've been running Webilder since before this bug appeared. I never had a problem on Ubuntu amd64 7.10 With the bug in force, Webilder cannot change the wallpaper, neither can Gnome. Gnome registry gets updated but the change only occurs if I restart X.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'its doing what I'm asking for' I want to be able to change the wallpaper whether or not Gnome is displaying the desktop. My understanding is that the setting show_desktop shows or hides desktop icons, but the desktop wallpaper which is visible either way, should be changeable at all times. My experience is that wallpaper is only changeable with show_desktop enabled. When I upgraded, I first did a distribution upgrade but that failed, so then i used the Hardy cd keeping my home partition intact. Since encountering the wallpaper bug, I have hidden .gconf to force Gnome to rebuild it. I hope this info helps. -- Cannot change wallpaper after showing/hiding desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214347 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
