RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Oliver Ilian 2016-09-08 11:44:49 UTC

Description of problem:
If the Gnome background is set globally in /etc/dconf/db/local.d , a user configured background is overwritten with the globally set background.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-settings-daemon-3.14.4-12.el7.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create the file /etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-global_settings
2. add the following lines to the file

[org/gnome/desktop/background]
picture-uri='Path to the background'


3. ensure you see the background
4. as user choose a new background via Settings - Background
5. log out and log back in as user

Actual results:
Global background is shown again.

Expected results:
User selected background should be shown.

Additional info:
Also after you logged in as user and you see the global background again, changing the background again shows the previous user selected background in the preview and also the path in dconf org/gnome/desktop/background shows the correct user chosen background.

It seems like the global setting is dominating here, however the user setting should dominate.

I also checked that there is no file in /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/ setting a background

This was working on RHEL 7.1 so this is a regression
