I think the behavior I'm seeing is very similar, but slightly different from the bugzilla.gnome.org bug. The upstream bug report was that if you change the image in-place, the desktop background does not change. Now, I've always had this problem, and believe it should be fixed. However, I had been getting around this issue by running gconftool and resetting the 'picture_filename' setting. Even though I was setting it to the same exact pathname, it would still cause gnome to get a fresh copy of the image. This is the behavior that has stopped working for me.
Of course, if the upstream bug is fixed then it makes my problem moot since I won't need to use my work-around anymore; I should just be able to over-write the image and it will change on the desktop automatically. -- Desktop Background Image doesn't refresh when calling gconftool https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108110 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
