<p>I have a Dell Inspirion 1420 and found this feature -
in Gnome after clicking the user in the upper right
corner, System Settings --> Background (all of which
is probably redundant as you have probably done this) -
then, with seemingly the same issue you have where there
are no buttons, after days I found that clicking the
image is where the access point is.</p>
<p style="">Hope this helps,</p>

"after days I found that clicking the image is where the
access point is" I'm thinking you mean the actual picture you
want to be set as your background? Yeah, I'm clicking on that
and I still get no settings that will allow me to set whether
the background is Tiled.....Centered.......Fills the
screen...Scales to size etc. I wonder if there's a
configuration file that can be altered?....and Thanks for the
reply!!<br>

I'm not sure which desktop you are using (Gnome, KDE, etc) but I
am using KDE and have the desktop configured to folder view in
F18 and if you right click on the background then select "Folder
View Properties" from the subsequent dialog, the next dialog
displayed defaults to the view setting where there is a
"positioning" drop down which has all the options selectable
that you are looking for.<br>

I'm still using the Gnome desktop, (I happen to find it very
appealing...although a lot of folks don't!) And I've just tried
Richard's solution, which I THOUGHT was working, apparently, it's
not. But it's ok. I will continue to check the config files for
gnome and see what I can find. thanks for your help!<br>

If you are using Gnome, I read in one of the Australian Magazines a
while ago that the Gnome developers removed a lot of the
configuration options from Gnome 3, and there there was a tool that
could be downloaded that reintroduced a number of them that the
magazine recommended as being the first download that should be done
for Gnome 3. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the tool and
I don't have the article anymore as I stopped using Gnome the first
time I tried it when I found that I couldn't right click on the
desktop and create application links.<br>
