Description Adam Jackson 2009-07-07 15:02:58 UTC
Description of problem:

Intel GM45 laptop.  gdm starts cloned (at 10x7), but the session configuration is set for VGA left of LVDS.  After the session config is applied, nautilus takes quite a while to switch from a tile of the old background to the new background.

We _could_ send a message from gnome-settings-daemon to the session before applying the new display config, to trigger pre-rendering of the new wallpaper.  But that seems fragile since we're also going to get display config changes from xrandr, games, etc.  Possibly better is to change the background to a (theme-appropriate) solid fill when the change happens, and then crossfade from that to the new wallpaper when it's finished loading.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2009-11-16 10:40:17 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2010-11-04 10:50:53 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2010-12-05 06:44:41 UTC
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
