Description JeyaSudha 2002-07-16 11:58:01 UTC 
In multihead open a gnome terminal and export display to :0.1.
Start the gnome panel. Gnome panel starts in second screen. Try to change
the background from the panel in the second screen. It changes the 
background in the first screen.

If you are saying that it affects both screens, I would 
consider this NOTABUG. After all, if you are logged in
twice on different displays, changing the background on
one display will affect the background on the other display.

(Doing anythign else would mean using separate GConf key
for the background on screen 1, screen 2, etc. then you
have to worry about what happens when you log into another
display with a different configuration of screens.)
Comment 2 JeyaSudha 2002-07-17 02:37:14 UTC 
I have a display with two screens :0.0, :0.1  When the background is
changed from the panel in the first screen (Applications -> Desktop
Preferences -> Background) the background of the first screen gets
changed. This is correct. When i change the background from the panel
in the second screen, the background of the first screen gets changed
but not the second screen. Is this expected?
Comment 3 Luis Villa 2002-07-22 14:39:47 UTC 
I've changed the title to make it a little more clear what JeyaSudha
is saying; I think that's definitely a bug.
Comment 4 Mark McLoughlin 2002-07-24 03:42:22 UTC 
No this isn't expected. I would actually expect the background to be
changed on both screens at the same time. This is the behaviour with
Nautilus multihead.

This is with the multihead branch of the panel, right?
Comment 5 Mark McLoughlin 2002-07-24 04:08:50 UTC 
I also assume this is without nautilus running ? Or is it nautilus,
but not built from the multihead branch ?


If this isn't nautilus we're talking about then its because BGApplier
only renders to the default root window. I'll work on making it
multiscreen aware soon ...
Comment 6 JeyaSudha 2002-07-24 13:03:31 UTC 
This is by using multihead panel and nautilus single head.
Comment 7 Mark McLoughlin 2002-07-25 04:01:47 UTC 
JeyaSudha: you should be using a build of the Nautilus multihead
branch when testing this. I'm resolving as INVALID.

Thanks ...
