------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-17 17:54 ------- No, the common background option is not turned on, but that would have been pretty cool if that's all it was. =) But no, this really is a bug--hence, as I said, the *transparency* of things like konsole the correct background, but the main background on the desktop doesn't update. =( Interestingly enough, though, the transparency feature in xchat shows the *incorrect* background, but is consistant with what is displayed on the screen. It seems that only KDE Konsole-type transparency (as opposed to XRender transparents on the menus, which obviously is consistant with what's on the screen) is affected. This says to me that KDE has updated it's internal "this is what the desktop background image is" variables so that konsole grabs the right pixmap, but what the desktop itself displays on the screen is always the wallpaper from desktop #1. Again, this change can be easily reproduced by changing nothing but the ~/.i18n file. I've reproduced this on 3 computers with different kinds of processors and different video cards. It's not just a simple bad setting. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I have multiple KDE desktops, each configured with different wallpaper settings. If I switch between them, the wallpaper does not change, but any apps with software "transparency" (i.e. konsole) are "transparent" to the *correct* wallpaper. This is easily repeatable and I can easily repeat this on any machine. My ~/.i18n looks like this: $ cat ~/.i18n LC_TELEPHONE=en_US LC_PAPER=en_US LC_NAME=en_US LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=en_US LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US LC_MONETARY=en_US LC_TIME=en_US LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US LC_ADDRESS=en_US LC_MESSAGES=en_US LC_COLLATE=en_US XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2" XIM=kinput2 XIM_PROGRAM=kinput2 This gives me english interface and units for everything, but allows the japanese input method (kinput2) to work (it also breaks handling in KDE for the multi_key, but that's another story!) Anyway, with this ~/.i18n, switching between desktops doesn't change the background wallpaper. It's really annoying. However, if I switch my ~/.i18n back to the following, it magically works again (but of course, now I can't enter japanese, which is a big problem!) $ cp ~/.i18n-en ~/.i18n $ cat ~/.i18n LC_TELEPHONE=en_US LC_PAPER=en_US LC_NAME=en_US LC_CTYPE=en_US LANGUAGE=en_US:en LC_NUMERIC=en_US LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US LC_MONETARY=en_US LC_TIME=en_US LANG=en_US LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US LC_ADDRESS=en_US LC_MESSAGES=en_US LC_COLLATE=en_US
