For a long time (1+ years) I have had a cron job run a script every 15 minutes to change my desktop background. Recently it stopped working. The script still runs but the background image is not changed. If I run the script from the command line it behaves as ususal.
Evidently there is some ENV variable that gconftool-2 needs to change the background. What might it be? The script line that changes the background: /usr/bin/gconftool-2 -t str --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename $FileName The installed version of gconftool-2 (included in gconf2): gconf2: Installed: 2.24.0-7 -- "The kind of man who wants the government to adopt and enforce his ideas is always the kind of man whose ideas are idiotic." -- H.
