remote site. The backgronud  can change daily, i need know if this is
possible, some way for set the background from a remote site?, by
example, a URL, http://somesite.com/wallpaper1.png.

i am put in backgronund properties line (gconftool) the url:
http://somesite.com/wallpaper1.png, but at moment of user login the
backgronud  is show for 2 or 3  seconds and soon this it disappears.

Questions regarding Sun's gnome 2.6 implementation

I just upgraded from Solaris 9 to Solaris 10 on a SPARC system and moved
from Sun's native gnome 2.0 to 2.6 as part of their Java Desktop System.
Here are some issues that I am noticing and I'm curious if there are any
configuration options or work-arounds available to address them.

 *  I have a dual screen configuration running two separate desktops.  Each
    desktop has a panel with a "Show Desktop" button.  However, clicking
    the button on the second screen causes the contents of the first screen
    to disappear.  Is this a known issue with a fix?

 *  On the second desktop, I add a drawer or a launcher to the panel and
    bring up the properties menu.  When I click on the "Icon" box, the
    panels on both desktops disappear momentarily, are then redrawn and
    the properties menu disappears.  It is impossible to add an icon using
    the properties menu.  There is no such problem on the original desktop,
    only on the second screen.  Any know work-around?

 *  Is there a way to get rid of the "This Computer", "Documents", "Network
    Places" and "Trash" icons from the desktop?

 *  The in-box monitor in the panel requires a double-click to execute the
    underlying mail reader.  Is there a way to change this to a single
    click?

 *  In what version of gnome were the following features implemented?  I
    thought I had these capabilities in gnome 2.0, but I may be confusing
    it with a later release.  I would like to implement them in gnome
    2.6 if possible.

      - When moving a window on the screen, holding down Shift while
        dragging the window causes it to "snap" into alignment with
	another window or the edge of the screen.

      - When resizing an xterm window, the current size of the window,
        in character units, is displayed.

Thanks for any pointers you can offer.

Regards,

From this bug report, it seems it was fixed in the 2.10 cycle;
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105650

Check the gconf keys for /apps/nautilus. You should be able to disable
most of these (or disable nautilus drawing the desktop fully), but I'm
not sure if it applies to 2.6.

Possibly fixed in 2.6.1, see these bugs:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152220
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143734

This is edge resistance? If so, it looks like this was introduced in
metacity 2.13.2.

From what I can tell from the changelog, this is called resizepopup and
should have been available as far back as 2002?

As a general rule, you can find out a lot by searching the bug tracker,
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ and skimming through the changelogs (online
at http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs).

Anyway, HTH!

Just for the archive...

I had setted the --failsafe option in my .xsession file and I failed
to check that...

This isn't actually the edge resistance feature, which happens without
holding a modifier.  The Shift-to-Snap feature has been around for a
long time, probably since about 2.4.
