I was able to reproduce it: *) In flashback 12.04, by setting /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager=true. The default was false, that's why we never saw the problem there. *) In flashback 14.04, by setting org.gnome.metacity compositing-manager=true. The default was false, that's why we never saw the problem there. *) In mate 16.04, by installing unity-greeter. The default is lightdm-gtk-greeter, that's why the problem doesn't appear there normally.
I was not able to reproduce it with compiz no matter how much I tried. I even tried killing `nautilus -n` and resetting the xprops, and while at that point `metacity --replace` was drawing a grey background, `compiz --replace` was drawing the background just fine. So, maybe we can just set compositing-manager=false as it was in the past, or we could check how compiz does it when those xprops aren't present... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1563735 Title: Recent gnome-flashback clears the background on login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-flashback/+bug/1563735/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
