Bug#543799: mutter screws up desktop wallpaper

[Miles Bader]

Package: mutter
Version: 2.27.2-1
Severity: normal



I normally use compiz (because that's what gnome-session starts by
default, I guess; previously it used to start metacity).

I _don't_ run nautilus to manage the desktop though (i.e., I have no
icons on my "desktop", just a simple wallpaper image).

I started mutter by doing:

  $ mutter --replace &

and see this error mesg:

  ウィンドウ・マネージャの警告: Log level 8: meta_window_focus: assertion `!window->override_redirect' failed

*** But the most noticeable thing was that my wallpaper image had been
replaced by a pure-white background!

Running the gnome config tool for setting the background, did not let me
change that -- it remained pure white.

Re-starting compiz (with "compiz --replace &") restored my normal
desktop wallpaper.

Thanks,

-Miles
