remove hardcoded gtk+ vfs backend (659 bytes, patch)

Description Sebastien Bacher 2005-12-28 10:56:36 UTC 
This bug has been described here: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21576

"Dapper (probably true for all previous releases, can't remember...)

1) System -> Preferences -> Desktop Background
2) Click on the "Add Wallpaper" button
3) Watch in the left pane for the various "Places" : I can see "Desktop", my
"bookmarks", "File System", "Home", but I can't see my mounted partitions (I
mounted 2 partitions). These partitions show up just fine anywhere else in
Nautilus and its dialog windows... except here."

remove hardcoded gtk+ vfs backend

For some reason gtk+ is hardcoded as backend.
using the default function will allow gnome-vfs as backend if enabled in gtk+
Comment 3 Kristof Vansant 2007-04-07 15:56:13 UTC 
are the wallpapers locally cached or something?
otherwise you can get problem since a volume is not mounted or a network connection is not made
Comment 4 Rodney Dawes 2007-04-07 15:59:35 UTC 
The application does not use gnome-vfs. Supporting the vfs backend means a lot more than just not forcing the gtk+ backend to be used. It's being forced in the code for a reason. The rest of the code doesn't support VFS.
Comment 5 Jens Granseuer 2007-04-09 15:40:09 UTC 
Marking patch according to Rodney's comment.
Comment 6 Bastien Nocera 2011-02-12 03:25:35 UTC 
We use GIO everywhere now.
