Package: gnome-control-center Version: 1:2.22.0-2 Severity: normal The desktop background does nto get displayed, either by trying to set it via gnome-appearance-properties or on the command line using
$ gconftool-2 --set --type string /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "$file" The right image is being set in the gconf registry (inspected via gconf-editor) but the image is not displayed on the root window. Toggling the /desktop/background/draw_background key does not have any effect. The only output from g-a-p is: (gnome-appearance-properties:18077): appearance-properties-WARNING **: Unknown Tag: comment I've removed .gnome2/backgrounds.xml to no avail. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.20 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_IN.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_IN.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_IN.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-control-center depends on: ii capplets-data 1:2.22.0-2 configuration applets for GNOME 2 ii desktop-file-util 0.15-1 Utilities for .desktop files ii gnome-desktop-dat 2.22.0-1 Common files for GNOME 2 desktop a ii gnome-icon-theme 2.22.0-1 GNOME Desktop icon theme ii gnome-menus 2.22.0-1 an implementation of the freedeskt ii gnome-settings-da 2.22.0-4 GNOME settings daemon ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.20-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.22.0-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.22.0-1 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.7-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.14-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.1.20-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libebook1.2-9 1.12.3-1 Client library for evolution addre ii libfontconfig1 2.5.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+b1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgconf2-4 2.22.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.1-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-desktop- 2.22.0-1 Utility library for loading .deskt ii libgnome-menu2 2.22.0-1 an implementation of the freedeskt ii libgnome-window-s 1:2.22.0-2 Utility library for getting window ii libgnome2-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.20.1.1-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomekbd2 2.22.0-1 GNOME library to manage keyboard c ii libgnomekbdui2 2.22.0-1 User interface library for libgnom ii libgnomeui-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.22.0-2 GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgstreamer-plug 0.10.18-3 GStreamer libraries from the "base ii libgstreamer0.10- 0.10.18-4 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.9-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libhal1 0.5.11~rc2-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libmetacity0 1:2.22.0-1 library of lightweight GTK2 based ii libnautilus-exten 2.20.0-3 libraries for nautilus components ii liborbit2 1:2.14.12-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpanel-applet2- 2.20.3-3 library for GNOME Panel applets ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.0-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-3 PNG library - runtime ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libslab0 0.9.8.svn.20070430-1.1 beautification app library file ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libstartup-notifi 0.9-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.9-1 X cursor management library ii libxft2 2.1.12-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxklavier12 3.5-1 X Keyboard Extension high-level AP ii libxml2 2.6.31.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.2-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxss1 1:1.1.3-1 X11 Screen Saver extension library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-11 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gnome-control-center recommends: ii bzip2 1.0.5-0.1 high-quality block-sorting file co pn evolution-data-server <none> (no description available) ii gnome-session 2.22.0-2 The GNOME 2 Session Manager pn gnome-user-guide <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
