Hi,
I was wondering how one does it: I have been looking at the Preferences -> Desktop but I can not find a way to have it take nothing as the background. Previously, in F10,11,12, I recall that there was a button somewhere which said no background. I can not find it here.
This is due to the changes in pcmanfm.
Select wallpaper screen, type in "none" for the filename. Presto ...
Thanks, John! In my case, there is a drop down menu. I chose a file that is not a jpg and now get a black background. However, I can not get xplanet running in the background to show up. Any ideas?
Edit /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart and change the line that reads
@pcmanfm --desktop --profile lxde
to
@pcmanfm --d --profile lxde
or remove it completely. Instead add a line for xplanet
@xplanet
Commands prefixed with @ will be restarted by lxsession if they crash.
You also need to apply the same changes in ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart if you have customized your session settings. (This is a bug, it should be sufficient to edit only the latter file).
Where should a bug report be submitted? Fedora? Or LXDE?
The bug that per-user autostart is overwritten by the global autostart file is already known and will be fixed in the next release of lxsession. The rest is no bug but simply a change in the behavior. You might want to file a bug for getting back the old behavior of pcmanfm where one could enable desktop icons independently from the wallpaper. Please use the feature request tracker (!) of pcmanfm at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=156956&atid=801867
Last bug not least I suggest to ask this question on the Fedora LXDE mailing list [1]. The list is very low traffic and I wouldn't have missed your mail.
