as discussed on irc, it's because of the default background value: $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri 'file:///usr/share/themes/Adwaita/backgrounds/stripes.jpg'
it doesn't exist unless you have gnome-themes-standard installed. The 2 workarounds are: 1/ change that key to a valid URI (still starting with file://) or 2/ install gnome-themes-standard The real fix is to change the default value to match an existing Ubuntu theme. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784209 Title: Background fails to redraw -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
