--- Begin Message ---Package: gnome-control-center Version: 1:3.0.2-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I was using $gnome-control-center background and wanted to add some directories and images I had downloaded as a list in gnome-control-center background. This is the way I went about it. a. Either go to Apps > System Tools > Preferences > GNOME System Settings > Background or use $gnome-control-center background b. Background gives three options Wallpapers, Pictures and Folders and Colors and Gradients. Use either wallpapers or Pictures and Folders and add a directory full of pictures. c. Now close it d. Come back again and try to see if its there. The images would not be there. This is tiring to do again and again. I do remember that GNOME 2.x used to use the .xml file from /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/gnome-backgrounds.xml and that is/used to be a lot of chore to make an .xml file. It seems backgrounds still uses that. In any case the directory is not present in the next instance of the application. You choose it, it is there for this time. You close the app. and open it again it is not there anymore. I tried also using $gksudo gnome-control-center background as an attempt to be able to stick the picture list in backgrounds but was unsuccessful. Although I hate to say it, but I think this issue had been solved longtime back in competing Os'es. Looking forward to some solution or at least some clarity on the same. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-control-center depends on: ii accountsservice 0.6.14-1 ii apg 2.2.3.dfsg.1-2 ii desktop-file-utils 0.15-2 ii gnome-control-center-data 1:3.0.2-3 ii gnome-desktop3-data 3.0.2-2 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.2.0-1 ii gnome-icon-theme-symbolic 3.2.0-2 ii gnome-menus 3.0.1-2 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.0.3-3 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.0.1-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.2.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-21 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.10.2-6.1 ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6.1 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.28-2 ii libcanberra0 0.28-2 ii libcomerr2 1.42~WIP-2011-10-16-1 ii libcups2 1.5.0-8 ii libdbus-1-3 1.4.16-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.98-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-3 ii libfreetype6 2.4.6-2 ii libgconf2-4 2.32.4-1 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.0-3 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.24.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.28.8-1 ii libgnome-control-center1 1:3.0.2-3 ii libgnome-desktop-3-0 3.0.2-2 ii libgnome-menu2 3.0.1-2 ii libgnomekbd7 3.2.0-1 ii libgnutls26 2.12.11-1 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.9.1+dfsg-3 ii libgtk-3-0 3.0.12-2 ii libgtop2-7 2.28.4-1 ii libk5crypto3 1.9.1+dfsg-3 ii libkrb5-3 1.9.1+dfsg-3 ii libnm-glib4 0.9.0-2 ii libnm-util2 0.9.0-2 ii libpango1.0-0 1.29.4-1 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.102-1 ii libpulse-mainloop-glib0 1.0-4 ii libpulse0 1.0-4 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-1 ii libupower-glib1 0.9.14-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.4.4-2 ii libxi6 2:1.4.3-3 ii libxklavier16 5.1-2 ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-5 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 Versions of packages gnome-control-center recommends: ii gnome-session 3.0.2-3 ii gnome-user-guide 3.2.0.1-2 ii iso-codes 3.29-1 ii mousetweaks 3.2.0-1 ii policykit-1-gnome 0.102-2 Versions of packages gnome-control-center suggests: ii gnome-screensaver 3.0.1-1 ii gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio 0.10.30-1 ii libcanberra-gtk-module 0.28-2 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.6+3 ii xscreensaver 5.14-1 -- no debconf information -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17

It's just that the info. is/was missing. In fact the implementation seems broken a bit. Instead of using Pictures which is provided as a default folder/directory, to be taking pictures from /home seems to be counterintuitive but that's a different issue. Thank you for sharing from where Pictures are taken for the Pictures option. I am closing this bug. Will open a new one once the newer g-c-c is in testing and Pictures still takes from /home folder, it would need to be reported here as well as upstream I guess. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17
