GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 648462
un-toggling "high contrast" does not revert wallpaper/background
Last modified: 2011-05-04 22:09:29 UTC
Hi, If I toggle high-contrast on, my background is replaced with all-white (as well as icons changing, other UI things etc.) If I toggle it back off, the other UI changes revert back to normal (including icons) but the background remains white. However, if I move to "Activities", my original background is drawn behind the expose windows. Actually it's drawn like that even with high-contrast toggled on. Re-choosing a wallpaper resolves this. Expected behaviour: the wallpaper returns when high-contrast is disabled.
It is not expected that the background changes to white. Reassigning to gnome-settings-daemon, which is responsible for drawing it.
Do you have a file manager on your desktop? If so, it's a bug in nautilus (see bug 648137).
No. I use nautilus (version 3.0.0) and by default it does not draw icons on my desktop. There was no nautilus process running when I experienced the problem.
I cannot reproduce the problem here. Which versions of gnome-settings-daemon, gnome-desktop3, gnome-themes-standard and gsettings-desktop-schemas are you using? Which distribution are you using? Did gnome-settings-daemon crash when you changed the wallpaper? Check your ~/.xsession-errors file for errors that occurred when changing the contrast toggle. By the way, changing the contrast toggle shouldn't change the wallpaper at all.
Hi Bastian, I've just upgraded some X and GNOME3 components then I saw your reply. I've just tried to reproduce with my current versions (below) but have not been able to: ii gnome-settings-daem 3.0.0.1-1 daemon handling the GNOME session settings ii gnome-themes-standa 3.0.0-2 Standard gnome themes ii gsettings-desktop-s 3.0.0-1 GSettings deskop-wide schemas (the final -N suffix on the version string is the Debian version) I'm not sure what Debian package "gnome-desktop3" maps to, at a guess ii gnome-session 3.0.0-2 GNOME Session Manager - GNOME 3 session ii gnome-shell 3.0.0.2-1 graphical shell for the GNOME desktop Thanks for trying to reproduce. At a guess (based on some other nautilus/gnome3/X crashes I've been getting) it might have been a bug in the intel driver that has been resolved. Thanks again Bastian and Giovanni for your time.
