Description Don Lindsay 2011-06-01 23:22:58 UTC
Description of problem:

On F15, if I try to set the desktop background image, gthumb claims that the operation succeeded. But no change occurs: the desktop stays the same. This used to work on the same hardware, just days ago, before I upgraded from f14 to f15.

I am able to change the background image by going into the upper-right-corner menu, choosing "system settings", and selecting the Personal\Background icon. The resulting popup can change the background image. But gthumb can't, although it offers to do so.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gthumb-2.12.3-2.fc15.x86_64

This with the default x86_64 f15, ie I didn't choose a spin. I have dual monitors, each of which shows a background image.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 15:40:43 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

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:
