[Xfce-bugs] [Bug 15475] External command line applications fail to set the background image
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15475 --- Comment #3 from Yuri --- Most HOWTOs explaining how to change a wallpaper from the command line recommend 'feh', 'nitrogen', or 'gsettings': * https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Feh#Set_the_wallpaper * https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nitrogen#Setting_wallpaper * http://www.bristolwatch.com/debian/feh.htm They never say that in case of xfce4 'xfdesktop --quit' also needs to be run. This makes xfce4 an outlier defeating the standard way of doing this. If each DE required such special step there would have been no single standard way of doing this. xfdesktop should be automatically disabled when the command line method is used, like other DEs behave. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Xfce-bugs mailing list Xfce-bugs@xfce.org https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-bugs

https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15475 --- Comment #2 from Theo Linkspfeifer --- For xfdesktop you can use the xfconf-query command to set the background image: $ xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -l | grep last-image $ xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/workspace0/last-image -s "/path/to/image-file" -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Xfce-bugs mailing list Xfce-bugs@xfce.org https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-bugs

It will continue to manage the desktop otherwise. $ xfdesktop --quit -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Xfce-bugs mailing list Xfce-bugs@xfce.org https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-bugs
