Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-themes

I upgraded my machine from Karmic to Lucid. Somewhere along the way my ~/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml was written over.

I had quite a bit of work saved in there. If any component is going to write over my configuration it could at least save a .old version for me to use later.

I am not sure how to identify what source package this bug really applies to since it's a config file in my home directory. I believe the logic would have to be added to the upstream code as this is not a packaging bug.

Thanks for taking a look.

I did a fresh install of Lucid, but I kept my home directory.

My ~/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml file is frequently written over with no wallpaper.

Here is the content of the backgrouns.xml file after this "clear" occur :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wallpapers SYSTEM "gnome-wp-list.dtd">
<wallpapers/>
