I use gconftool-2 in a few scripts to change the desktop background image.
In FC6 I used :
gconftool-2 -s -t string /gnome/desktop/background/picture_filename
/tmp/a.jpg
In F7 this works, however if I overwrite /tmp/a.jpg with a new image,
and re-run the gconftoool-2 command, the image doesn't update.
I've tried changing to another name (e.g; nonexistent or existent) and
then back to /tmp/a.jpg, also unset/set of the picture_filename file,
but the old a.jpg is always ends up on the BG even though eog, gimp,
etc. show the image has changed.
Could someone tell me how to invalidate the cache and force a re-read of
the image?
TIA,
John
