Weird Gnome issue

Hey guys,

I'm giving gnome a chance, but I have a problem, that I didn't have under freebsd/gentoo/slackware/debian/redhat/you name it

When I try to add a wallpaper, I can select the image and click ok or open, then... the wallpaper list is still empty...

I've had the problem with 2.8-testing, so I went down to 2.6 (from current) and have the same problem... Now, I'm not too familiar with gnome... so I don't know either which part of gnome this would be related to, or where I could get info on what's happening...

Has anyone seen that problem? or am I the unlucky one? or is this a sign I should stick with KDE? tongue

(no smartass comments please >:P)

Nothing... it looks like the app is running fine... no errors or warning...

Re: Weird Gnome issue

hmmm I'm using Gnome 2.8 in testing and not experiencing the desktop backgroun problems at all... Perhaps post a bugfix and one of the dev's will have an idea for solving it?

Been a while since I used Gnome, but is there any possibility the screen images that would normally appear in the list don't have the correct file permissions setup for non-root users?

Just a guess since it seems consistent throughout different Gnome revisions you have tried.

Re: Weird Gnome issue

Even more weird, I retried this morning, and now all the wallpapers work fine now... I don't know if a package I had installed got upgraded and fixed the issue, but for no reason it works now... like I said, weird
