Description Jeff Bastian 2013-06-25 13:20:47 UTC
Description of problem:
The Gnome Classic session has a solid white wallpaper.  Choosing a new wallpaper from the Control Center has no effect.  However, opening the Overview shows the correct wallpaper!  But then returning to the application brings back the solid white wallpaper.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-classic-session-3.8.3-2.fc19.noarch
gnome-session-3.8.2.1-2.fc19.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.8.3-2.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
unknown

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login with Gnome Classic session

Actual results:
solid white background for wallpaper

Expected results:
normal wallpaper

Additional info:
I thought this was due to bug 975521 but I've updated my glib2 package and started with a fresh dconf database and the wallpaper is still white.

Please create a new user, login and check to make sure this isn't some local configuration issue.

Comment 4 Jeff Bastian 2013-06-26 14:21:40 UTC
Ok, it is a config issue with my account: the new user can change wallpaper just fine.

I'll report back if/when I discover the root cause.

The problem was I had created a symlink for gtk3 themes
  $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0 -> /usr/share/themes/Radiance/gtk-3.0

This was to make gtk3 apps like nm-applet and Gnome Boxes look nice under Xfce.  The Adwaita theme looks terrible under Xfce, see bug 963324

I guess I'll need to find a new workaround for gtk3 themes when switching between Xfce and Gnome and KDE...
