It seems to be a feature added to 0.5.3. Essentially when it sets a random background, it will always add the wallpapers list from the standard Gnome Desktop Background tool (from the file ~/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml). Though i admit this is a pretty annoying feature. I'll provide a patch to make this optional from the Preferences.

I've set "Rotate Interval" to 1 minute and waited an hour. I've also used "Forward" several times. No wallpaper from /usr/share/backgrounds were used.

[Bug 355081] Re: wallpaper-tray always displays pictures from /usr/share/backgrounds
I have this problem as well and I think it's damn silly to allow selecting directories and then force users to have to also use the default one. I don't know why this would be marked as low priority. It would seem to be an easy fix and so many users have complained about it. Is there a feeling that we darn well have to use the default backgrounds and so therefore this isn't a bug? I don't get it. Why can't it just be fixed by adding the default directory into the list as with other directories so that the users can remove it if they wish or leave it if they wish. -- wallpaper-tray always displays pictures from /usr/share/backgrounds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355081 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had the same problem when using Karmic and Wallpaper Tray 0.5.5.

[Bug 355081] Re: wallpaper-tray always displays pictures from /usr/share/backgrounds
I hade a quick look at the code in wallpaper tray. When it selects a random wallpaper, i does not only load the wallpapers in the path selected, it always also consider all the wallpapers in the gnome wallpaper selector. (The list you can see when you right click the desktop, and select Change desktop backgrounds) All of those are stored in the .gnome2/backgrounds.xml file, but that file will be regenerated when you open the Change desktop backgrounds. Some one might contact the developer of Wallpaper tray and request af feature to disable the loading of the gnome backgrounds. -- wallpaper-tray always displays pictures from /usr/share/backgrounds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355081 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I tried the fix suggested here, and it worked. However, it stopped working when I opened the Change Desktop Background window. I suspect that that dialog automatically updates the gnome2/backgrounds.xml file and ruins everything. -- wallpaper-tray always displays pictures from /usr/share/backgrounds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355081 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 355081] Re: wallpaper-tray always displays pictures from /usr/share/backgrounds
Was experiencing the same issue, however, instead of removing the entire file (seems a bit blunt to just remove the entire file) I just opened the backgrounds.xml and removed all entries with the wallpaper deleted=true value. I think the problem is that Wallpaper Tray just read this file without checking the above parameter, so it tries to load all the deleted pictures. I have found another related bug while fighting this one btw: It doesn't understand strings with non-english signs in them. I have folders with the danish letters æ, ø and å in them, and it just completely ignores these letters meaning it won't display pictures in these folders either. The xml-file includes the ascii code for the sign, but Wallpaper Tray can't translate them and therefore, it can't locate the pics! -- wallpaper-tray always displays pictures from /usr/share/backgrounds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355081 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 355081] Re: wallpaper-tray always displays pictures from /usr/share/backgrounds
I was having the /usr/share/backgrounds issue and blank screen issue. I was able to resolve this on my install by removing ~/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml. Many stale entries in there that weren't properly removed. I suppose you can hand-edit the file but I'd rather zap/recreate it. -- wallpaper-tray always displays pictures from /usr/share/backgrounds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355081 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
