Gnome Wallchanger appears to cause Nautilus to crash on login

[firefeather]

Since I installed Gnome Wallchanger, I've had to run "killall nautilus" to get my desktop icons to show up and my wallpaper to show correctly after I boot.

Settings:
Randomly Change Background Every 10 Minutes
Get Wallpapers From Gnome Wallpapers
Store Downloaded Wallpapers In wallpaper-changer
Do not Remove wallpapers after use

I'm running version 2.3 from PPA

OK tests I have done:

 * Set all settings as reported
 * Restarted computer, making sure to run random-wallpaper script as it's booting
 * Logged off into GDM, run random-wallpaper, logged back in
 * Shut down Xorg, run random-wallpaper, logged back in

No errors were found so far.

Okay, I think I may have found it: when I changed the Store Downloaded Wallpapers away from the default /usr/(something)/wallpaper-changer onto my home partition, this stopped the crash. It consistently happened until I made this change. This was all on 2.3, I'm now going to upgrade to 2.4.

That odd because 1) gnome wallpapers setting doesn't require that to be set to anything and 2) It should try and save things to ~/ if it can't write to your chosen folder.

Anyway if you find the error again, attach your advanged backgrounds settings file from ~/.gnome2/backgrounds_advanced.xml
