Wallpaper on a second monitor #139

Open ghost opened 10 years ago

ghost commented 10 years ago

When a second monitor is used the default debian wallpaper is showed. It should be changed with the freepto wallpaper.

It seems not to be so easy: xfce4 does not obey to /etc/alternatives/desktop-background, nor /etc/alternatives/desktop-background.xml. Maybe it just looks to /etc/xdg/xfce4 ? It seems very hard to fix it.

Anyway, a hook that does

cp /etc/alternatives/desktop-background.xml /etc/skel/.config/xfce4/blablab/xfce4-desktop.xml

looks certainly better than the current situation!

this does the job:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-path -s /usr/share/images/freepto-graphics/freepto-wallpaper_1024x768.png

but how can we set it at default? will it work as a chroot-hook?

seems that the configuration is read from /usr/share/desktop-base/profiles/xdg-config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-desktop.xml which basically fetches /usr/share/images/desktop-base/default-background

How to test

Download: http://dev.freepto.mx/dev/139-graphics/140904_14.59_v1.0alpha1-39-g1f476a3-it/ Virtualization: I think that you CANNOT use virtualization What to do:

  1. Run freepto, and check that the default background is the black one with the freepto logo on it.
  2. Attach a secondo monitor and check that the background is the same
