set search directory, now never finishes loading

[Larry Kyrala]

In the settings panel I checked "search directory for wallpapers" and I wanted to select a different directory than my home (which has all sorts of symlinks to external mounts, etc. But the app immediately starts scanning the filesystem before I can make the change. So I killed it.

However, everytime I start it now, it scans my home dir. I tried force remove, gnome settings, but I can't seem to remove whatever dependency it put in. Please tell me how to reset the search folder from the command line, or how to disable the search folder completely.

Specifically, I cannot unset "Monitor this directory for new wallpapers". The GUI never finishes loading and I can't find any settings either on the command-line or in any of my configuration files.

Nevermind, I found it using gconf-editor under: /apps/drapes/monitor_directory
