Hi all, Yesterday in Debian testing, there was update/upgrade of GNOME from 3.4 to GNOME 3.8 . I too updated/upgraded yesterday. I have also documented my update/upgrade in http://wp.me/pfuZu-CX Anyways, after the update came to the new session and found there is/was no background/wallpaper. Right-clicking and changing background is still there but there is/was no effect on the background, it is a coldish grey background. I have attached a screenshot of the same. Emilio who's a packager of GNOME in Debian shared the following bit from gnome-settings-daemon Version 3.7.90 ============== - Set locale and IBus envvars on startup for our children - Remove background plugin, as background handling is now done in gnome-shell And sure enough, it is mentioned in the NEWS.gz file. It seems the NEWS.gz started with 2.21.4 version of gnome-settings-daemon. While the most recent version of gnome-settings-daemon installed is 3.8.5-2 there doesn't seem to be any fix. I also downloaded and checked the changelog of gnome-settings-daemon 3.10 and even that version changelog doesn't give any insight about this. Can anybody tell/share if there is any movement to somehow bring back the background/wallpaper so we don't have to stare at a grey display all day. I also tried to scan https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=gnome-settings-daemon&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED but was unsuccessful in getting about my background issue. Looking forward for any sort of info. and ideas. Please lemme know if any info. is needed from my side. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17
