Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Ubuntu Lucid

At every screen resolution, any background picture has a narrow grey strip at its left and right edges.

The strips do not extend over the panels, and nor do they appear on top of windows that overlap the left or right of the screen. Therefore it's a problem with the background picture.

The problem occurs with a background picture downloaded from the Internet, as well as with every picture I've tried from ubuntu-wallpapers, so it's a bug with the display of the background picture, rather than with ubuntu-wallpapers. Therefore I'm guessing it's a Nautilus bug.

The color of the strip is #d9cebb (R217,G206,B187).
