Hallo everyone, I've got a really particular and weird problem here..I
hope there are people able of helping me because this is strange.
I'm on Ubuntu Hardy right now. When I used Gutsy, after installing
Enlightenment E17, logging into the session gave me the gnome-wallpaper
in background. I mean, after the E17 wallpaper loaded the gnome
wallpaper was not there anymore.. but right after logging with GDM, I
could see the gnome wallpaper in background.
I'm not sure if that's because I used gnome-settings-daemon or not.. but I used it by the way, for icons, themes, etc.
Well, since the gnome wallpaper was somehow in background, I was able
to use it for fake transparencies of the terminal, fbpanel, etc. I just
had to set a gnome wallpaper equal to a screenshot of the same E17
wallpaper... I loved that feature.
Now in Hardy I notice that if I run Ubuntu in a gnome session it of
course loads the wallpaper, if I do it in an E17 session, even running
gnome-settings-daemon the gnome wallpaper is not there behind
everything... so I do not have anymore my beloved fake transparency in
gnome-terminal... now, why does it happens and how can I fix it, having
the gnome-wallpaper be loaded when I log into E17?
I really hope someone out there is wise enough to be able and help me...

Update: I found that after launching nautilus in E17, the gnome wallpaper is setted in background.
Nautilus opens a fake desktop window when you opn it (to avoid this you
should launch it with nautilus --no-desktop) and a normal browser
window. When it crates the fake desktop window, it also settes the
gnome wallpaper in background, so, if I killall nautilus, he gnome
background remains there in background and the gnome-terminal displays
transparency...
why does this happen? What's different from the previous Ubuntu
version? Why is nautilus the one who handles this? And why in the
previous version it was gnome-settings-daemon who took care of this?
Does anyone know how can I find another way, maybe a command / script
to be able to handle this background property of gnome without having
to run nautilus at all?
