Description of problem: I set the background to something other than the installed FC15 background (blue stripes, leaves, bird), but I still get the installed background. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-3.0.0-1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use "System Settings" and select "background" 2.Select any background other than the default one. 3. Actual results: Background doesn't change Expected results: Change! Additional info:
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?
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?
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.
