** Description changed:
+ [ Description ]
+
+ Nautilus's wallpaper drawing doesn't respond to changes in monitor
+ configuration. Instead of your wallpaper you see black.
+
+ [ Fix ]
+
+ Inside nautilus, the wallpaper widget connects to GTK's "monitors-
+ changed" signal when it is constructed. It does this only once the
+ widget is realized - a "realized" signal handler connects to "monitors-
+ changed". In Yakkety, the "realized" signal handler is connected after
+ the widget is already realized, meaning that the signal handler isn't
+ called and we don't connect to the "monitors-changed" signal.
+
+ The proposed fix remedies this by checking if we are realized and
+ explicitly calling the signal handler if so.
+
+ [ QA ]
+
+ Have multiple monitors. Have only one of them connected. Log in. Plug in
+ one monitor. If it's autoactivated, check you see your background on
+ both monitors. If not, activate it ("Displays") and do the same.
+
+ [ Regression potential ]
+
+ I'm not sure why or where the order changed to make the widget be
+ realized earlier, if it matters or if this was always buggy and we got
+ lucky. I would guess a refactoring in Nautilus itself, and so the
+ proposed fix is safe, but watch out for other weirdness.
