Gnome 3 from experimental - how do you change wallpaper
I thought I would play around with Gnome 3 for a short while, so I
installed it from Debian experimental.
Its a different paradigm than I have been used to, but it seems to be
quite easy to use, and I emulated my old desktop (with 5 regularly used
applications in the little tray on the left quite quickly.
One thing that so far has proved fun, is that I can run mythtv in a
window and then go to the mode where all the open windows are laid out
separately but smaller and it still plays the TV in the minimized
window. Unfortunately the text is too small to see in the other windows,
so its not really much use.
HOWEVER, I don't like the blue stripped wallpaper that came as standard
- I would like to go back to my much lighter picture (from my own
images) that I had as my wallpaper for Gnome 2.
The only reference I have been able to find on the internet is to use a
program called "gsettings" to alter it. However, my install of Gnome 3
didn't bring in "gsettings". I can see there is no package called
gsettings (although it did bring in a package called gsettings-backend)
so I can't figure out how to change it.
Anyone ideas which debian (experimental?) package contains the gsettings
program, or is there an alternative way of changing this background?
