Description Anand 2002-04-05 11:04:08 UTC 
Gnome 2.0 was built on a Red hat Linux 7.1 box on the 1st Apr from CVS.

Description:
When the desktop background is reset and the 'Use Nautilus to draw the 
desktop' option in the preferences menu is toggled, nautilus crashes. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Ensure that the 'Use nautilus to draw the desktop' option is set in 
Edit -> Preferences -> Windows & Desktop. 
2. Also ensure that the 'Reset Desktop Background' opiton is enabled when 
right clicked on the desktop. (If not, set a picture for the background 
using the 'Change Desktop Background' option).
3. Choose the 'Reset Desktop Background' opiton by right clicking on the 
desktop.
4. Open Edit -> Preferences -> Windows & Desktop settings from a nautilus 
window.
5. Check and uncheck repeatedly (5-6 times) the 'Use Nautilus to draw the 
desktop' option.
6. Nautilus crashes.

Reproducibility:
Almose Always. Since the number of times before a user gets a crash is not 
fixed.

Debugging info:
Stack trace is attached below.

I can't test this because I'm unable to change the background at all -
can't change it to a picture, can't change the color - none of the
changes I make in the Background Preferences dialog stick. Perhaps
I've got a separate bug here?

OK, I can test this now. Don't know what was wrong yesterday. And I
can confirm it.
