Hello folks,
I'm having a strange problem here: Ever since I upgraded to 7.10 a long time ago, I cannot change my desktop background to anything I don't have in my backdrop list already. That means I CAN change alright, but if there's a new picture I want to add, that doesn't work.
I have my .gnome2/background.xml in my home, and I guess I could add entries manually there, but why doesn't gnome control center do this anymore? After installing some additional wallpapers via a dpkg package I see them in the list, but I still cannot add mine! I even tried copying them to /usr/share/background but that didn't do the trick either...
Also, when I browse for new background images to add in the control center, it doesn't show me any files. Not png, not jpg, not gif. I have to select "All Files" as a filter, then it shows them. Even the preview thumbmail works, so I don't think it's a libpng or related library issue...
Anyone have any clues? I don't see any meaningful messages in the logs or the console. Even upgrading to the latest 8.04 didn't help!
