Description Greg Schafer 2002-06-09 11:26:44 UTC 
Upon firing up Gnome2 for the first time with a clean home dir, I get
presented with a very disconcerting error dialog as per the attched
screenshot. Can we get of this so as to make things look a bit more
professional for the first time user?

Also, in my .xsession-errors I see:-

(gnome-settings-daemon:32478): capplet-common-WARNING **: Could not load
pixbuf ""; disabling wallpaper.

(gnome-background-properties:32502): capplet-common-WARNING **: Could not
load pixbuf ""; disabling wallpaper.

(gnome-background-properties:32502): capplet-common-WARNING **: Could not
load pixbuf ""; disabling wallpaper.

load pixbuf ""; disabling wallpaper.

load pixbuf ""; disabling wallpaper.

(gnome-background-properties:32502): capplet-common-WARNING **: Could not

(gnome-background-properties:32502): capplet-common-WARNING **: Could not
load pixbuf ""; disabling wallpaper.

load pixbuf ""; disabling wallpaper.

(gnome-background-properties:32502): capplet-common-WARNING **: Could not
load pixbuf ""; disabling wallpaper.


After changing the background, everything is ok from that point onwards.

Jody: is this always the case with the 'fix' for the default
background stuff? I wish I had had time to do a complete reinstall
from scratch...
Comment 3 jacob berkman 2002-06-11 16:47:30 UTC 
i assume this was with a very recent build?

ie, not one a month old?

after nuking my ~ i couldn't reproduce this...
Comment 4 jacob berkman 2002-06-11 16:58:59 UTC 
i can't find that error message in the sources since my commit on may 16:

2002-05-16  jacob berkman  <jacob@ximian.com>

	* applier.c (bg_applier_apply_prefs): don't spew a warning when
	files can't be loaded (helps fix #76993)
Comment 5 jacob berkman 2002-06-11 19:55:18 UTC 
1.99.10 was before the fix went in, so going to close this as a dup.
