GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 696010
Second head has no background after mutter commit 0bb8d29
Last modified: 2013-03-18 21:21:20 UTC
Environment: * Fedora 18 * full jhbuild environment with packages from master * Graphics: Gallium 0.4 on NV96 * Dual head, single video card, desktop system With gnome-shell master, clutter master, and mutter master, only the main head has my chosen background; the other head is solid grey. I tried earlier revisions of gnome-shell and worked my way before Jasper's background fixes and still saw the problem. I then tried gnome-shell master with mutter revision 1f905bd (i.e. the one before 0bb8d29) and both heads had backgrounds as expected. Something about 0bb8d29 is making the second head's background go away. Other observations which may or may not be relevant: * Each time I do the Alt+f2, r to restart gnome-shell, for a brief moment both heads have the default background. But then my background is restored and the second head goes grey. * When using mutter revision 1f905bd, there's a noticeable delay (a full second) in between the first head getting its background and the second head getting its background.
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
