Description Andrew Sobala 2002-05-09 21:25:09 UTC 
Version: 1.1.15

After an upgrade to nautilus 1.1.15, I right-clicked the desktop and chose
"Use default background." Now, I'm finding it impossible to change the
desktop image (everything acts normally but the desktop never changes).

I can't duplicate this.
Comment 2 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-05-10 11:25:56 UTC 
How are you trying to change the desktop background, are you choosing
"change desktop background" from the right click context menu????
Comment 3 John Fleck 2002-05-10 13:48:43 UTC 
In my case, I built from cvs. Did you build from tarballs?
Comment 4 Andrew Sobala 2002-05-10 14:24:49 UTC 
I built this from the snapshot tarballs. It happens both when I
right-click on the desktop or use the background capplet from the
control center.

I have had desktop trouble before (bug #81089). An additional problem
today is the JPG images I am trying to load appear in the top-left
button labelled "picture" in the background capplet, but not in the
lower row of buttons where I could select scaling/stretching (instead
I just see a colour).
