no wallpaper when disconnected from internet (patch attached)

[Kevin Keraudren]

Hi,

I did some modifications to "callbacks.c" so that :

"get_image.sh" now looks like :

##### BEGIN #####
#!/bin/bash

COUNTER=0
while [ $COUNTER -lt 10 ]; do
 curl http://static.die.net/earth/mercator/1600.jpg > world.jpg
 temp=$(stat -c%s world.jpg)
  if [[ $temp > 1000 ]]
  then rm /home/kevin/.gnome2/RealtimeSunlightWallpaper/gtk-sunlight/*.jpg
   mv world.jpg /home/kevin/.gnome2/RealtimeSunlightWallpaper/gtk-sunlight/sunlight_wallpaper1292601070.jpg
   exit 0
 fi
 sleep 5
 let COUNTER=COUNTER+1
done

exit 1
#####END #####

and I checked the definition of the C "system" function on Wikipedia :
"system [...] will wait until the child process terminates and return its exit value"

hence : I put 10 tries instead of 60 tries : gtk-sunlight is freezing while waiting for ./get_image.sh to answer and if there is nbo connection, it is no use waiting 60*5s=5min, also I introduced exit values.

Then later in callbacks.sh :
   if (system(fname) == 0 ) {
    system(set_wallpaper);
   }

instead of :
   system(fname);
   system(set_wallpaper);

I attached to this bug report a patch (bzr diff > callbacks.diff).
I hope this will help those without a permanent internet connection, or those who simply travel with their laptop.

Kind regards,

Kevin
