After changing background everything should be OK if Nautilus doesn't handle the desktop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132033 Title: Gnome-Shell activities shows black background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1132033/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
