i just found out that when i actually open the nautilus browser, the
background images is re-drawn properly.
is this bugzilla worthy?

| i'm not sure this is the case.
| here is my exact scenerio:
|
| - working at 1024x768
| - halt computer
| - boot up later (no external monitor) at 800x600
| - if nautilus is disabled from drawing my desktop, the background image is
| drawn and scaled properly, using Ximian GNOME
| - if nautilus is NOT disabled, and draws my desktop, the background image
is
| drawn and scaled as if it's still at 1024x768.
|
| nautilus draws _over_ what GNOME draws, and i can see GNOME has drawn it
| properly before nautilus does it's drawing. so this leads me to believe
it's
| a bug with nautilus.
|
| thanx.

| | Actually.. I'm beginning to think that he may be experiencing the limits
| | of X. X cannot really change resolution dynamically, so if a user
switches
| | between 1024x768 and 800x600 with for instance ctrl-alt-+/-, the desktop
| | will still be the size of the first resolution listed under that
| | color-depth in XF86Config. This would mean that the desktop is still
1024
| | pixels wide, but the resolution 800x600.. this is solved with
| | virtual-screen (scrolling).
| |
| | The solution is to change the values and restart X every time you need
to
| | change resolution properly.

| | I'm sorry if the above solution isn't applicable, but you stated that
you

have
