desktop colour turns black for no apparent reason

[Mathieu L BOUCHARD]

I have to pick a different colour then pick the colour i wanted in the first place. I can't directly pick the same colour, because the dialogue box supposes it's already of that colour.

I didn't try a relogin.

Do you mean the colour of the background, or that of the desktop icons?

[Mathieu L BOUCHARD (matju)]

I am talking about the colour of the desktop.

Desktop icons always have transparent background, thus their background looks like whatever the desktop itself looks like.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

PS. I haven't had such trouble on 12.04.3, as of this writing.

Thank you for replying to my bug. The three answers are :

  1. none that I am aware of (otherwise, I would have stated it) ;

  2. that the settings only change when I change them ;

  3. see title above : «  desktop colour turns black for no apparent reason ».

Fortunately, the bug was fixed long ago (I did not notice when it is that it stopped happening).

Also, I don't use Ubuntu 12.04 anymore anyway, which means I'm dealing with a wholly different set of bugs now.

Have a nice day.
