I have a Dell Inspirion 1420 and found this feature - in
Gnome after clicking the user in the upper right corner,
System Settings --> Background (all of which is
probably redundant as you have probably done this) - then,
with seemingly the same issue you have where there are no
buttons, after days I found that clicking the image is
where the access point is.
Hope this helps,
Richard
"after days I found that clicking the image is where the access
point is" I'm thinking you mean the actual picture you want to
be set as your background? Yeah, I'm clicking on that and I
still get no settings that will allow me to set whether the
background is Tiled.....Centered.......Fills the screen...Scales
to size etc. I wonder if there's a configuration file that can
be altered?....and Thanks for the reply!!

I'm not sure which desktop you are using (Gnome, KDE, etc) but I
am using KDE and have the desktop configured to folder view in F18
and if you right click on the background then select "Folder View
Properties" from the subsequent dialog, the next dialog displayed
defaults to the view setting where there is a "positioning" drop
down which has all the options selectable that you are looking
for.

Steve
I'm still using the Gnome desktop, (I happen to find it very
appealing...although a lot of folks don't!) And I've just tried
Richard's solution, which I THOUGHT was working, apparently, it's
not. But it's ok. I will continue to check the config files for
gnome and see what I can find. thanks for your help!
