Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2003-01-02 21:53:53 UTC
after logging in again, does the control panel still show the 
settings you set up?

Comment 2 Hans de Goede 2003-01-03 10:34:19 UTC
Yes, the controlpanel still shows the same settings, and changing them followed
by changing them back works (I get a black background then) but after a new
login my background doesn't get set.


Comment 3 Jonathan Blandford 2003-01-15 19:56:11 UTC
does gnome-settings-daemon run?  Did you get that out of your session somehow?

Comment 4 Hans de Goede 2003-01-15 20:32:56 UTC
Yes, gnome-settings-daemon is running, and changing the background works fine,
the problem is it just doesn't get set initialy.



Comment 5 Jonathan Blandford 2003-01-24 22:44:56 UTC
But is it running when you first log in?  Running the capplet will start the daemon.

Comment 6 Hans de Goede 2003-01-24 23:05:34 UTC
Yes it is running when I first login, before running any capplets.


Comment 7 Jonathan Blandford 2003-02-13 21:28:11 UTC
Are you running nautilus?  Do you have nautilus draw your background?

Comment 8 Hans de Goede 2003-02-13 21:32:00 UTC
Nope, I don't use nautilus


Comment 9 Hans de Goede 2003-07-24 12:49:17 UTC
Still there in severn

Comment 10 Hans de Goede 2004-07-21 14:58:47 UTC
Well,

This bug is still here with FC3 test1, although I do notice that
gnome-settings-deamon now seems to be gone from my
session-preferences, but it still is there in ps aux.

Running nautilus fixes this BTW, so people who haven't hacked nautilus
out of their config probably won't be affected.

Hi Hans,

Do you still see this with FC4 and/or rawhide?

Comment 12 Hans de Goede 2005-09-09 18:35:10 UTC
I'm running a rawhide which is about a week old and still get this. After
removing "xsetroot -solid black" from desktop->preferences->more
preferences->sessions, startup programs I once again get the blue background
from gdm.

Even though the desktop background preferences are set to no wallpaper, solid black.

To reproduce goto:
desktop->preferences->more preferences->sessions, current session tab and remove
nautiles. Set you desktop background to no wallpaper solid black. logout (save
settings) log in, reproduced.

Comment 13 Bug Zapper 2008-04-03 15:26:10 UTC
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported
against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no
longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are
flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer
maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now,
we will automatically close it.

If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or
rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change
the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version
or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.)

Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled
these issues to this point.

The process we're following is outlined here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp

We will be following the process here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this
doesn't happen again.

Comment 14 Hans de Goede 2008-04-03 16:08:12 UTC
AFAIK nautilus is still responsible for setting your root window background,
rather then that gnome-settings-daemon does it, considering that backgroun
manages the icons on the root window too, this isn't that strange.

So yes, removing nautilus from your session will most likely still cause your
background to not get set. But since nautilus now is needed for things like usb
stick automount to work properly, I no longer remove it from my session and I
doubt anyone else still does, so as far as I'm concerned this bug can be closed.


Comment 15 Ray Strode [halfline] 2008-04-03 17:44:09 UTC
well gnome-settings-daemon is *supposed* to draw the background if nautilus
isn't running.
