Cannot change desktop background
Hello,
I use Fedora 11 with all the updates up till now. I cannot change my desktop background using either System -> Preferences -> Appearance or gnome-control-center. I installed gconf-editor and checked the settings and everything seems normal and background is set to the wallpaper i desired but on the desktop nothing changes. What is wrong? Can you help me? Thanks, Ekin |

Right click the photo and select "Set as desktop background" - does this work? |
No it does not work...
|
Just to be clear - a) it has never worked or - b) it stopped working after an update
|
As far as I know, It has never worked...

From System>Preferences>Appearance>Background you should see the attached screen - do you?.
Clicking on any of the backgrounds should take effect immediately (no need to click Make Default) - does this happen? |
It does not take effect. I click on different backgrounds but it does not change...
|
Create & log on as a new user, System>Administration>Users & Groups>Add User - does it work now?
|
I added new user and logged in and changing desktop background worked. Then I logged in as my regular user and I could managed to change the background.
|
Great - I was going suggest downloading gconf-cleaner (yum install gconf-cleaner) if the new user was OK and the regular user still failed but don't bother if it's now working.
|
Thank you very much for your help...
