The gray fence like background is actually just a no background setting. I am not sure if its possible the get it with metacity, check the gnome settings panel, it has settings for metacity, and check if you can just disable the background completely. > I've run "xsetroot", but it doesn't make sense to put it in .bashrc - it > will be re-run for every shell (and I have a lot in my session). > xsetroot is meant to be run from your session. I am assuming you are using gnome-session, there should be a setting to add a custom program, but I think you can set the background directly from gnome (or metacity) > The other problem with xsetroot is that (the last time, though not this > morning surprisingly) it changed not only the background but the cursor > too - and I happen to like the nice GNOME cursors. > >From the cursors it seems that gnome changes appearances, so its probably setting also the background somewhere, check the panel. I am guessing that you can't get the default background with your settings, the closest you can get is setting a gray background, or do a screen capture with some other setting with no background, cut out a small square and set a tiled background. > TIA > zen > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
