Hi folks,

does anyon know about Gnome's mechanism to cache my wallpaper?
I looked up the source code /nautilus,gnome-desktop,gdk) but didn't finally get behind it.

Where is my wallpaper stored.

Background:
As a matter of fact, Ubuntu changes the shipped backgrounds on updates and I wonder, why I still get to see my former background whose file is no longer existant. The gconf entry is still showing the non-existant file. So it must be cached somewhere/somehow.

Thanx for your hints to this in advance


Cheers

cd ~/.cache/wallpaper
ls

And get all your cached wallpapers
