------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-18 18:35 ------- Another update on this: Using the ~/.i18n file that doesn't work, if I completely close all programs (so nothing is in the session) log out and log back in, and then do nothing but move between desktops, the wallpaper changes. However, as soon as I load an application (the application I tried is konqueror--I don't know if it has to be a KDE app that loads or what, I haven't too many variations--I just ran into this accidentally), it goes into "broken" mode. However, if I'm on, say, desktop #3 when this happens, it's locked on desktop #3's wallpaper. ------- 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
