Gnome 3.8 has now hit the official repos and it looks great. They only thing I can't seem to get to work is the desktop background. I try to set it to a nice image I have, but my desktop background remains a dull grey. The only place I see a change is in window overview mode. The only way to get the background on my ordinary desktop is to turn off "Have file manager handle the desktop" in Tweak Tool, but then I lose the icons from my desktop. Please tell me I'm not forced to chose the lesser of these evils and that there is something I've missed ;) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@xxxxxxxxxxxx jabber: magnus@xxxxxxxxxxxx twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
