If you are using Gnome, I read in one of the Australian Magazines a while ago that the Gnome developers removed a lot of the configuration options from Gnome 3, and there there was a tool that could be downloaded that reintroduced a number of them that the magazine recommended as being the first download that should be done for Gnome 3. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the tool and I don't have the article anymore as I stopped using Gnome the first time I tried it when I found that I couldn't right click on the desktop and create application links.On 03/17/2013 04:13 PM, Stephen Morris wrote:I'm still using the Gnome desktop, (I happen to find it very appealing...although a lot of folks don't!) And I've just tried Richard's solution, which I THOUGHT was working, apparently, it's not. But it's ok. I will continue to check the config files for gnome and see what I can find. thanks for your help!On 03/18/2013 04:00 AM, Eddie G.

Ask away: http://ask.fedoraproject.orgI have a Dell Inspirion 1420 and found this feature - in Gnome after clicking the user in the upper right corner, System Settings --> Background (all of which is probably redundant as you have probably done this) - then, with seemingly the same issue you have where there are no buttons, after days I found that clicking the image is where the access point is.Hope this helps, Richard"after days I found that clicking the image is where the access point is" I'm thinking you mean the actual picture you want to be set as your background? Yeah, I'm clicking on that and I still get no settings that will allow me to set whether the background is Tiled.....Centered.......Fills the screen...Scales to size etc. I wonder if there's a configuration file that can be altered?....and Thanks for the reply!!EGO IIregards, SteveEGO II
