"Set As Background" pop-up doesn't work

[brad]

Right-Click pop-up to set image as Desktop-Background in Firefox doesn't work.

Expected Result: Selected Image should have been set as Desktop Background.
Real Result: No Change.

Right-Click an image in Firefox >> Select: Set as Desktop Background >> Pop-up opens >> Select: Strech (to fit desktop) >> Click: Set as Background >> Result: None. - Desktop remains unchanged.

Ubuntu 8.04.2
All current updates installed.

Thank you for reporting the bug. I tried to reproduce it (configuration below) and was able to successfully set the desktop background by clicking on the popup (as you had described). Could you please provide further details?

I think that the popup is part of Ubuntu and firefox is only invoking the program. Try to save the image file and use the change desktop of Ubuntu (Right click on desktop and change desktop background and choose the downloaded image file). Please let me know if this works.

There is a bug reported on this problem already in Launchpad. I will look if i have time today but its not looking like i will have time until atleast mid june-end of june

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Are you using gnome when this happens or KDE?
The one i remember isn't any longer open from what i can tell on a quick search

Thanks.

Ubuntu 8.04 -- Gnome

Place cursor over image, right-click, select:"Set as Desktop
Background". Pop-up opens showing image of monitor, option to select
color, stretch image,tile,or center. Regardless of selection, clicking
on "Set As Background" has no effect. - Seems not to be linked to
Desktop-manager, or whatever app is in control of the desktop background
image.

Since this report have a long time without activity, could you check (if is possible) in latest version included in Hardy if this issue is still happening? Additionally, I tried to reproduce this behavior using Ubuntu Karmic (up-to-date) and everything works fine here.
Thanks in advance.
