    help regarding the configuration files pertaining to wallpaper-tray

    I installed wallpaper-tray and pretty much messed it up in 5 minutes. I enables time change and put 0.1 there just for fun. Next thing I know is that the desktop is changing wallpapers like crazy and almost using all the resources. I can't even click on anything, just see the wallpapers changing.
    So , i need to find where the config files are stored so i can alter them manually.
    I tried:
    find -iname '*tray*'
    it showed a folder ~/.gconf/apps/wp_tray
    i deleted the contents of the directory but of no use..
    There and back again...

    i think you are not getting me. I don't want to uninstall the wallpaper-tray. I switched to virtual console and killed it. switched back. that's how i wrote this thread. I only want to reset the settings back.

    It should be showing an applet in the top panel.
    Right click on it and select either Settings or Preferences I forget which.
    Change the settings and there you go.

    No. i can't do that since wallpaper-tray uses almost all of my system's memory. If i right-click, it takes many minutes for just the outline of the menu to appear.

    Never mind, i figured it out. After I delete the ~/.gconf/apps/wp_tray. i have to logout and login for the changes to take effect.
    There and back again...
