Can anyone help with what needs to be done in order to get it back?

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.

regards,
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!
