Disable the Desktop Effect on Fedora 9

deshpande04 · 09-09-2010, 04:57 AM

I tried to enable Desktop Effect in my Gnome. I am running Fedora 9 on my Desktop. I did System > Preferences > Look and Feel > Desktop Effects. Once I enables this, I had a white screen which I could not do any thing with it. I did this when i was logged in as root.

Being newbie to Gnome, all I want is to know how to disable the desktop effects in my user account? That is which files I should edit/remove to get back my Desktop again.

Thanks,

Sachin

You log in as your user account, and make the same change. That's it. Also, you do realize that Fedora 9 is VERY old...the latest is 13. It wouldn't hurt to upgrade your system.

This won;t disable the desktop effect. it will get applied to the user account and I will end up in same problem.
