This is on FC1, with GConf2-2.4.0-1. gconfd-2 appears to shut itself down. How do I get it to restart? I can run "/usr/libexec/gconfd-2", and it appears to run: it is present in a "ps" listing, and it has a lock file. However, I have a script that changes my desktop background every 24 hours (http://www.charlescurley.com/wallpaper2.html). Gconf-editor shows the last change, but the last change did not take effect on the screen, and does not take effect when I restart gconfd. Similarly, if I manually set the background, it fails to take effect. This leads me to think I'm not using the right magic incantation. gconftool-2 -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /home/ccurley/Photos/www.jpl.nasa.gov/wallpaper/art/Europa_1280_1024.jpg [ccurley@charlesc Mail]$ ps aux | grep gconf ccurley 15353 0.0 0.1 4504 988 ?
