Hi all,

    I also hit this issue, the background is black after login desktop. it fail to left-click and right-click on the desktop, and there is nothing on the desktop. BTW, it can be changed the desktop backgroud by "System-->Preferences-->Desktop Backgroud".

Best wish.
sluo

That's certainly not X's fault then.  Moving to gnome, but I suspect you picked an odd set of packages up front.

Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2012-08-02 19:42:00 UTC
does "yum install nautilus" fix it?

Comment 5 Ray Strode [halfline] 2012-08-02 19:43:10 UTC
can you attach your install log file that shows the list of packages installed ? it's in /root i can't think of the name of it off hand.

[root@localhost ~]# yum install nautilus
Loaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.
Setting up Install Process
Package nautilus-2.16.2-10.el5.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

And when I install the system, I full installed the "X Window System", 
"GNOME Desktop Environment" and "GNOME Software Development" groups.

rhel5.9 guest after a fresh install

Hi, 
Please check the attachment. In the screenshot, after I click "delete", then get a black background. And if I click "Don't delete", sometimes get black background too.

I have encounter the same problem as I install the rhel5.9-server-20120815 on Hyper-v guest ,kvm guest or physical machine.

The first time login,the desktop icons and right button menu is ok,but if you execute "init 3 "in the terminal ,then on the runlevel 3 execute "init 5" back to runlevel 5,the problem occured.Reboot the rhel5.9 may OS occur the same problem.
