Public bug reported: issuing the commands
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri 'file://fileuri.jpg' gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'zoom' as an example, under 12.04, changed the backround picture instantly. now in 12.10, the picture remains until you open the appearence settings app, then the changes are suddenly displayed. this could be an intended modification, but it certainly is a bug and not a feature for this use case. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bot-comment -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1135402 Title: gsettings requires 'kick' to update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1135402/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
