It looks like this might be related to the problem described by the editor lwn.net: http://lwn.net/Articles/278492/ It looks like when show_desktop is set to false, nautilus isn't running at all (which is probably the right thing). However, it really seems strange that nautilus would be required to set the background. It definitely used to be possible to change the background without nautilus. Thanks. Please try gnome-settings-daemon-2.22.1-1.2008.03.26.8.fc9 * Mon May 5 2008 Matthias Clasen <mclasen> - 2.22.1-1.2008.03.26.8 - Fix background drawing without nautilus Version gnome-settings-daemon-2.22.1-1.2008.03.26.8.fc9 isn't currently at http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/development/ppc/os/Packages/. I'll keep looking for it, though. Okay, I found it on Koji. I've verified that 2.22.1-1 fixed the bug. Thanks. Created attachment 304556 [details]
root window with compositing enabled
So, 2.22.1-1 fixed the bug on my ppc box, but there's still a problem on my
x86_64 machine. I'm attaching a screenshot. Basically what's happening is
that the image is being changed in the root window, but the screen is not being
refreshed. Just before the screenshot was taken, I updated the background
image several times while moving a window above. The root window was redrawn
only where the moving window forced it to redraw.
Thanks.
Aha! It's not about whether it's ppc or x86_64. The difference was that the one had /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager set to true. So, if compositing is off, redrawing happens. If compositing is on, the background only redraws when forced to. Thats an unrelated bug. Please file it against metacity. Okay. I just filed 445563. Thanks. gnome-settings-daemon-2.22.1-1.2008.03.26.8.fc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 9 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
