Additional info: the Desktop -> Background widget has a "Folder" selector which can drop down to "other", where it shows the default from which the choices are offered. This selector is ineffective in that all items are greyed out, even the ones in the default directory, and there seems no way to change the folder which the original selector is viewing. However, this sheds some light on why the third monitor is different. It appears to be using a different default, /usr/share/backgounds/xfce instead of /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops. I confirmed this by copying one image to the /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce, and was able to select it.
This is seriously messed up. (1) All monitors should have the same selections. (2) The "Folder" selector should allow one to choose an image in any folder you select, or should not be offered at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1614788 Title: Oddities in configuring multiple monitor appearance To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-settings/+bug/1614788/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
