Hi all,
Any response to this would be good. I'm on Debian (testing) and
without background it's not so pleasant. It's not the end of the world
but it doesn't look pretty. My poison is metacity though. Another
thing, we are using nautilus 3.8 here.

$ apt-show-versions -a nautilus
nautilus:amd64 3.8.2-2 install ok installed
nautilus:amd64 3.8.2-2  testing      debian.ec.as6453.net
nautilus:amd64 3.8.2-2  unstable     debian.ec.as6453.net
nautilus:amd64 3.10.0-1 experimental debian.ec.as6453.net
nautilus:amd64/testing 3.8.2-2 uptodate

Till l8er.
