GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 89886
Certain PNG will freeze background preferences
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Try this background PNG: http://62.26.209.204/download/Shadow/panel-shadow.png It loads for me but then immidiatly freezes the background preferences application. You can make it load again by removing or renaming the file so it doesn't find it. The PNG is a very small one (one pixel, 2000 pixels high) and is mostly transparent so this most probably is the reason for the freeze. It is saved with GIMP default settings and compression (6).
