Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 (x86_64) and gnome-settings-daemon
2.24.0-0ubuntu3.3.
I want gnome-settings-daemon to leave my desktop background alone, since
I'm running Xfce, not Gnome (I'm using gnome-settings-daemon because I
want to use some Gnome applications that don't seem to work properly
without it). However, whenever I start it, it immediately takes over
the root window.
This has been reported previously -- see bug #36669. However, that was
closed as "invalid" when it turned out the reporter still wanted
Nautilus to draw desktop icons. I'm not running Nautilus at all, so
that doesn't apply.
If I correctly understand Sebastian Bacher's comments under the
aforementioned #36669, I should be able to tell gnome-settings-daemon to
leave my desktop alone using the gconf key
/desktop/gnome/background/draw_background. I have set this to false,
but it has no visible effect whatsoever: gnome-settings-daemon still
insists on taking over the desktop background, as though it's not
reading that key at all.
