Just to clarify the facts: - This behaviour occurs when calling "gksu nautilus" in Ubuntu 12.04 with latest updates installed - Until now, I did not managed to manually remove the root wallpaper after it was loaded - The dialog for changing the wallpaper is run in root context after reproducing the situation when called via right click on the desktop - Several (additional, gui related) root processes stays in background even after closing nautilus a long time ago - Killing some of them prevents right clicks on the desktop, so the dialog for changing the wallpaper with root rights is not accessible anymore - Also files/starter from the root desktop folder are shown on the desktop - This also works with another account than root
I could not reproduce it on all machines though! Machine 1 (affected): fresh install of 12.04 Machine 2 (affected): 12.04 upgraded from several prior versions Machine 3 (not affected): fresh install of 12.04 I have no clue what 1+2 could have in common, despite the fact that those are the main working machines and 3 is not used that heavy .... what I wanna tell you is that on 1+2 far more experimenting/configurations is done while 3 receives clean configuration solutions after they work on 2 - confused? me too! :D Hope anything of the above is of at least little help! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494400 Title: Opening folder with nautilus-gksu change desktop wallpaper to root one To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gksu/+bug/494400/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
