Re: [desktop] Thoughts on GTK+2 problems in Wmaker
Hi Matthew, hi list,
maybe someone on the debian-gtk-gnome mailing list can hit us both with
a cluebat? Please? I have quoted Matthew's message almost in its
entirety.

There's a setting somewhere "leave my desktop alone" or "don't set the
background" or something like that.

My (little) understanding of this issue is that GNOME apps start
gconfd-2 automatically if it's not running. And I think someone
patched some GNOME 1 library in order to start gconfd-2 instead of the
old version.

No, it doesn't ring a bell here.
