Description of problem: When I switch to a workspace with nothing in it, instead of getting the default background I get an image of the last workspace in which I opened anything, e.g., a terminal window, but it is unusable, just an image of it. I can open something else in the workspace, however. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable) mate-desktop-libs-1.6.2-0.4.git81c245b.fc19.x86_64 mate-desktop-1.6.2-0.4.git81c245b.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: This happens on both x86-64 and i686. All the time. 4 different machines. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update mate-desktop(-libs) 2. Do anything, so long as you use multiple workspaces (the reason I gave up Gnome for Mate). Additional info: yum downgrade mate-desktop mate-desktop-libs fixed the problem. I'm not sure which is crucial.
mate-desktop-1.6.2-0.5 should fix the issue.

To get this to work, I had to do this: yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing mate-desktop\* which gave me both mate-desktop and mate-desktop-libs It did not work the first way because I needed -libs. I then downloaded the rpm from the git repository and that didn't work either. But this worked. However, after logging out and logging in, part of the same problem is present. I do not get my preferred background. Instead, I get a black screen. I'm going to try to revert.
mate-desktop-1.6.2-0.5.git81c245b fix this. Please check gsettings. [rave@mother ~]$ gsettings get org.mate.background draw-background true [rave@mother ~]$ gsettings get org.mate.background background-fade true [rave@mother ~]$ gsettings get org.mate.SettingsDaemon.plugins.background active true

I checked this after downgrade, but they should not be changed, right?
Yes, those are the correct values. We did a gsettings.override for 1.6.2-0.4.git81c245b which set it to false for fixing another bug. But we forgot that ex-gnome user prefer to disable caja gsettings key 'show-desktop-icons' which also disable draw background by caja ;) In result neither caja and mate-settings-daemon don't draw the background. With mate-desktop-1.6.2-0.5.git81c245b i revert the override. So check if those keys are 'true' with mate-desktop-1.6.2-0.5.git81c245b .

OK. I again did yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing mate-desktop\* and logged out and logged in. This time baron@barber ~ > gsettings get org.mate.background draw-background true baron@barber ~ > gsettings get org.mate.background background-fade false baron@barber ~ > gsettings get org.mate.SettingsDaemon.plugins.background active false But when I set the last two to true, it worked properly. So I think there is still a problem. Users should not have to do this. Indeed, I had disabled the icons, which look like -- well, how to say it? -- unpleasant smudges on what is otherwise a nice picture.
Can you post with mate-desktop-1.6.2-0.5.git81c245b [rave@mother ~]$ cat /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/mate-fedora.gschema.override [org.mate.background] picture-filename='/usr/share/backgrounds/default.png' [org.mate.session] required-components-list=[ 'windowmanager', 'panel' ] [org.mate.session.required-components] filemanager='' [org.mate.font-rendering] antialiasing='rgba' hinting='slight' Btw, it views hopefully like this.
