Description Dave Jones 2013-03-06 16:30:09 UTC
My desktop background is all grey, and never renders the actual background image.

top shows xfdesktop running constantly using up all cpu.

gdb backtrace shows it's stuck here..

Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

It's almost as if it thinks the screen size is constantly changing (it isn't).

Changing the background settings in the display config tool don't make any difference.

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2013-03-06 17:07:35 UTC
rpm -q xfdesktop ?

Did it used to work? Can you pinpoint any changes?

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2013-03-06 17:27:55 UTC
xfdesktop-4.10.1-1.fc18.x86_64

yeah, it broke in the last week or so.
(possibly a slightly earlier, as I've been suspend/resuming this laptop for a while).

Comment 3 Dave Jones 2013-03-06 17:30:09 UTC
I did...

yum downgrade xfdesktop ; killall xfdesktop

and now it works again.

so something in between 4.10.0-4 and 4.10.1-1

Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2013-03-06 17:34:43 UTC
This seems to be: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9892

which only hits when you have a solid background and no background image. ;) 
(I have an image here, so thats why I didn't hit it). 

I'll look at pushing a build with the patch from upstream today... 

Thanks.

Comment 5 Dave Jones 2013-03-06 17:37:34 UTC
that sounds about right. I have a vertical gradient.
