Description Josselin Mouette 2008-02-15 21:30:53 UTC 
[ Forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/458832 by Mike Hommey ]

When using a new user, at gnome session start, the default debian
background is displayed properly stretched, and a check in the gconf
registry shows that /desktop/gnome/background/picture_options is set to
"stretched".

When running the appearance properties panel for the very first time,
the background changes to being simply "scaled", which means blue bars
on the left and right sides of the screen on wide screens. The
background itself doesn't change in another way.
/desktop/gnome/background/picture_options gets set to "scaled".

When changing the option to "Fill screen" in the background tab, the key
is set to "stretched" again, and doesn't change when launching the panel
afterwards.

[ Additional comments ]

This is 100% reproducible with the default Debian setup, which sets the system-wide default to "stretched" while the schema says "scaled".

        * appearance-desktop.c: (wp_option_menu_set), (wp_load_stuffs):
        * gnome-wp-item.c: (gnome_wp_item_update), (gnome_wp_item_new):
        * gnome-wp-item.h: always apply the current GConf settings to the
        initially selected wallpaper so that we don't modify the settings if
        GConf state and the definition in backgrounds.xml are not identical
        (bug #516746)
