Didn't realize this bug had already been reported. Making my bug #1530570 a duplicate. Please feel free to close it. And also take a peak at the command I mentioned in the other report which may be used to set a background in Xfce4 desktop environment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886401 Title: xubuntu gthumb does not set desktop background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gthumb/+bug/886401/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 886401] Re: xubuntu gthumb does not set desktop background
Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Perhaps we need to add documentation that explains to set Launch GNOME services on startup to change the backgrounds.

[Bug 886401] Re: xubuntu gthumb does not set desktop background
Will try it and confirm. Would it be possible (at least in theory) for someone to write a hack so that when gthumb doesn't find 'gnome-appearance-properties', it looks instead for whatever the xfce equivalent is? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886401 Title: xubuntu gthumb does not set desktop background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gthumb/+bug/886401/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It is hardcoded in gThumb to use gnome-appearance-properties, I can confirm this issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886401 Title: xubuntu gthumb does not set desktop background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gthumb/+bug/886401/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

i have 'launch GNOME services at startup' selected from the 'settings' - 'settings manager' menu, and i am able to right-click on an image and set is as the wallpaper. see if enabling this 'fixes' it for you as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886401 Title: xubuntu gthumb does not set desktop background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gthumb/+bug/886401/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
