Description Brian Cameron 2002-10-09 13:00:17 UTC 
It would speed up the login significantly (eliminating about 1 second) if
the background were not drawn twice at startup.  Once by the
settings-daemon and then again by Nautilus.  It would be better if the
settings-daemon checked gconf to see if Nautilus were going to draw the
background, and if so, to avoid drawing the background.

To ensure that the user has a reasonable background if the user turns the
Nautilus background off, the settings-daemon could request notification
if the Nautilus gconf key changes.  Then if it changes from "true" to
"false", then the settings-daemon could take over the responsibility and
draw that background at this time.

Someone apparently changed this behavior at some point. Now if you don't
run nautilus, you don't get any background (until you open the background
capplet, at which point it belatedly appears).

So, should be closed, right?
Comment 3 Jens Granseuer 2007-01-31 21:05:37 UTC 
Assuming this is obsolete, please reopen if it isn't.
