The shell commands grep filename ~/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml | sed -e 's/<filename>//g' | sed -e 's/<\/filename>//g' | less
will show all the paths and filenames of the list of background images. This will be of use if no change is made in Karmic to fix this problem. I attached a script with these commands. It isn't *really a solution*, but rather a workaround allowing users to find where their background images are. ** Attachment added: "Shell script to display paths of images in one's backgrounds list." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/40444259/showbackgrounds -- gnome-appearance-properties no longer provides tooltips about background image names https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/517920 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
