Description of problem: Since the update to 0.5.3 (AFAIR) wp_tray is also using /usr/share/backgrounds/images. I don't have this directory enabled in the settings. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wp_tray-0.5.3-2.fc7 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. wait some time or manually use "Forward" to change the wallpaper 2. 3. Actual results: Some wallpapers are used from /usr/share/backgrounds/images Expected results: Since this directory is not configured in settings no wallpapers from there should be used.

Right, this is actually not a bug. It seems to be a feature added to 0.5.3. Essentially when it sets a random background, it will always add the wallpapers list from the standard Gnome Desktop Background tool (from the file ~/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml). Though i admit this is a pretty annoying feature. I'll provide a patch to make this optional from the Preferences.
Fixed, added a patch to make the 0.5.3 "feature" optional in the Preferences dialog. SRPM is available here : http://www.poolshark.org/src/wp_tray-0.5.3-3.fc7.src.rpm Please let me know if it fixes your problem.

I've set "Rotate Interval" to 1 minute and waited an hour. I've also used "Forward" several times. No wallpaper from /usr/share/backgrounds were used.
wp_tray-0.5.3-4.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
