Thanks! Great article. I’ll wait until Gnome does it right, and I hope the wait is not too long. I will be following this post.

Thanks for the awesome tip. This worked in Ubuntu 9.04 but the desktop icons were disabled. It also removed the Desktop options Global Menu. Nice though.

Thanks for the excellent post! Everything I could find on google was at least 3 years old and incompatible with compositing. Hopefully gnome fixes their bug soon.

I actually want desktop icons and the right-click menu, so this solution just seems to add eye-candy at the expense of functionality. I find a better solution to be the application Wallpapoz, which can be set up so that when you change desktops, the wallpaper changes. You can also set it up so that each desktop has a group of backgrounds that it cycles through. It’s a nifty application, and you lose no desktop functionality.

To update, it doesn’t seem to just “not work.”
I tried a different file, and it works fine.

Converted my current file to the same format, varied file names, nothing. In a layman’s terms, it didn’t seem to “like” that file.

In the end, copy/pasta the contents on the file into a new image and saving seem’d to work. A work-around, I guess.

Hope that helps, Nattydread.

Same error as Nattydread, I guess I’m confused also as to the fill options in the CCSM dialog.

Did everything as ordered, see only white on desktop, help please?
