** Description changed: If a user, already running a Gnome session upgrades or install unity by installing unity-session, background plugin doesn't start automatically (with u-s-d). This plugin has been removed from gnome-settings-daemon - and since gsd doesn't use it, it gets turned off. + (Ubuntu carries a patch which only adds back the schema) and since gsd + doesn't use it, it gets turned off. The background plugin is necessary to sync background related settings (wallpaper, sound, messages) with unity-greeter. If it doesn't start with u-s-d, changing wallpaper will not change the background of unity- greeter. The change was introduced in https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity- settings-daemon-team/unity-settings-daemon/trunk/revision/4179 This can be done in gsettings-override (In unity specific section) [org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.background:Unity] active = true Merge should happen against https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu- desktop/+junk/ubuntu-settings Since it's a +junk, I can't request merge proposals. I am also attaching the diff here.
