Figured I'd have to re-name the subject line in order to get a
response? Here's the original inquiry again:
I seem to recall someone posting the procedure to "restoring" the
Options for setting a desktop background
(Center-Scale-Zoom-Tiles-etc) I have a friend who's Dell Inspirion
laptop was on its last legs, so I assisted them in installing F18,
but the feature for handling the desktop background is
gone...(missing? kidnapped?) Can anyone help with what needs to be
done in order to get it back?
Thanks To All

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.

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!

If you are using Gnome, I read in one of the Australian Magazines a
while ago that the Gnome developers removed a lot of the configuration
options from Gnome 3, and there there was a tool that could be
downloaded that reintroduced a number of them that the magazine
recommended as being the first download that should be done for Gnome 3.
Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the tool and I don't have the
article anymore as I stopped using Gnome the first time I tried it when
I found that I couldn't right click on the desktop and create
application links.
regards,
Steve
You might be referring to 'gnome-tweak-tool' .
I have downloaded and tried the gnome-tweak-tool...but even than I don't
see an option to have this feature brought back, I guess I'll just
migrate to the MATE version of Fedora 18...and hope they bring it back
in version 19. Thanks to all for your help and input!!
