Description Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller 2002-10-27 19:00:59 UTC 
In GNOME 1 we had the cool feature of having the desktop background image
viewable in
the deskguide applet. This patch by Alex Duggan brings it back. It
currently implementes it using an environment variable, but I guess it
would be better to do it as a gconf key? 

Would you rather have a patch that do it as a gconf key, but which adds
gconf dependency to
libwnck?

Comment 2 Havoc Pennington 2002-10-27 21:27:46 UTC 
If it was a gconf key, what you would do is add a function 
wnck_pager_set_thumbnail_background() and then the gconf key would 
be in the panel applet. That's probably the right approach.

The reason it isn't on by default is mostly that it was deemed not 
useful unless we have different backgrounds for each workspace.
So it might be nice to add that, and maybe even the UI for doing 
per-workspace background involves the pager.

Ok, Alex is looking into it :)
Comment 4 Alex Duggan 2003-01-09 05:43:11 UTC 
Changing keyword to GNOMEVER2.3 and reassigning back to hp
Comment 5 Havoc Pennington 2003-07-28 18:44:45 UTC 
Dropping PATCH since the patch doesn't do what we want to do 
(see earlier comments)
Comment 6 Vincent Noel 2005-01-28 15:17:33 UTC 
Moving to right component. Sorry for the spam.
Comment 7 Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller 2011-05-20 09:48:10 UTC 
Don't think this is to relevant anymore with GNOME 3, so closing my report as obsolete.
