Works fine here. Also, the background is not drawn by nautilus anymore (unless you manually re-activated your desktop icons), but gnome-settings-daemon. Make sure it's running.
Are you running a stock Desktop Fedora 15?

Comment 2 Brian G. Anderson 2011-04-21 14:13:03 UTC

I'm running a stock FC15, but I downloaded a gshell-tweak tool and briefly turned on having the file manager draw desktop background and draw icons.  I have it off now, but clearly it isn't fully disabled.  Can you point me to some instructions to restore my settings properly?

Comment 3 Cosimo Cecchi 2011-04-21 14:30:53 UTC

So it seems you disabled somehow the background drawing from gnome-settings-daemon.

You can try to run the following commands from a terminal (as a regular user, not root).

$ gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons
$ gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.background draw-background

Then make sure they have their defaults values:

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background draw-background
=> true

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons
=> false

Log out and log back in again and you should get back your default settings.

Ok that was it:  thanks for you help.  Not a bug since I see now that I didn't have the stock settings for these values.

Thanks for the follow-up.
