I right-clicked on the desktop and selected "Change Desktop Background." An error message box appeared which said: "Unable to start the settings manager 'mate-settings-daemon'. Without the MATE settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with DBus, or a non-MATE (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the MATE settings manager." Then your application error notice appeared and here we are. backtrace_rating: 4 Package: mate-control-center-1.5.2-1.fc18 Architecture: x86_64 OS Release: Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow)
