hello, i juste read http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=64106 as shown by Daniel Holbach but could not have time to test it.
However, what is surprising is that: "pref->wallpaper_enabled seems redundancy" with "prefs->enabled". As far i as see those few lines, The maintainer of libbackground/preferences.c should easily clean which one of "enabled" or "wallpaper_enabled" is the right one, meaning Nautilus must or must not handle the job to manage the X root window about background drawing. As a pure user point of view, my gconf nautilus settings are: /apps/nautilus/preferences/background_set = empty checkbox /apps/nautilus/preferences/background_filename = empty string May be should i remove my gconf tree to let nautilus re-install something fresh ? next informations should follow later.. (~/.gconf purge, et caetera).
