waouh, quite some comments on that bug, I just ran accross it while looking at the nautilus update for saucy...
So it seems to get that fixed we need: - the new nautilus (being worked) - have gnome-settings-daemon's background plugin, to drop its checks that make it bail out if nautilus renders the background (I've a patch for that) - have compiz deal nicely with rgba desktop windows (Sam is looking at it) - the themes update (seems to be in already) Thanks everyone for the work on those issues, it seems like we are in a good path to get things resolved and the new version in the archive this cycle. @Adam: you asked about the plan, I think we will do that: - upload nautilus 3.8 soon, with the desktop changes reverted temporary (so we can get the new version without breaking anything) - work on getting the issues listed earlier resolved - drop the nautilus patch and let either compiz or gnome-settings-daemon display the background. I think I would prefer g-s-d background rendering to be enabled as a fallback in any case, even if we have a working compiz plugin, since it has been proved hard to make sure new plugins get activated/added to the user config on upgrade... we also know that the g-s-d codepaths have been tested and support all the options from the control center. (we will need to add back that code to g-s-d 3.8 though, but that should be an easy patch, just add back the directory). Over time unity will likely to the wallpaper rendering anyway, then we can stop patch g-s-d -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1159430 Title: Nautilus 3.7.92 breaks desktop background on Unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1159430/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
