the correct key is "draw_background", not "show_background", and it's used by gnome-settings-daemon where "/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop" is used by nautilus. To summarize: - if you want no background displayed you have to set /desktop/gnome/background/draw_background and /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop to false - if you want to display a background image without nautilus icon set draw_background to true - if you want to use nautilus on the desktop set draw_background
Do you confirm it works the intended way for you? It looks like your bug is a feature request for nautilus to display icons without taking over the window -- ignore disabling of key //desktop/gnome/background/draw_background ? https://launchpad.net/bugs/36669 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
