Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 (x86_64) and gnome-settings-daemon 2.24.0-0ubuntu3.3. I want gnome-settings-daemon to leave my desktop background alone, since I'm running Xfce, not Gnome (I'm using gnome-settings-daemon because I want to use some Gnome applications that don't seem to work properly without it). However, whenever I start it, it immediately takes over the root window. This has been reported previously -- see bug #36669. However, that was closed as "invalid" when it turned out the reporter still wanted Nautilus to draw desktop icons. I'm not running Nautilus at all, so that doesn't apply. If I correctly understand Sebastian Bacher's comments under the aforementioned #36669, I should be able to tell gnome-settings-daemon to leave my desktop alone using the gconf key /desktop/gnome/background/draw_background. I have set this to false, but it has no visible effect whatsoever: gnome-settings-daemon still insists on taking over the desktop background, as though it's not reading that key at all. ** Affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Can't stop gnome-settings-daemon drawing background https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309966 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
