** Description changed:
When setting a background from 'Colors & Gradients' in the 'Appearance'
pane of g-c-c, I see the following output in ~/.xsession-errors:
GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `string != NULL'
failed
** WARNING **: Failed to set the background '(null)':
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.Accounts.Error.Failed: file '[Invalid
UTF-8]' is not a regular file
Backtrace attached.
--- Update ---
When I manually set the 'picture-uri' key in
'org.gnome.desktop.background' I can observe the following:
* If I set it to a path to an existing regular file, prefixed with 'file://',
I see no warnings.
* If I set it to a path to a non-existing regular file, prefixed with
'file://', I get a 'file ... is not a regular file' warning.
* If I set it to something not prefixed with 'file://', I see the above two
warnings.
The last case happens every time I set a solid background color in
- 'Appearance', which sets the 'picture-uri' key to null.
+ 'Appearance', which sets the 'picture-uri' key to an empty string ("").
