Hey gang, I just found something interesting I was looking around in the filesystem trying to figure out what is causing my desktop background switching problems, and I noticed the file /etc/gconf/schemas/hildon-desktop-background-settings.schema. Here is the contents of this file:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gconfschemafile xmlns:confml="http://www.s60.com/xml/confml/2">
  <schemalist/>
</gconfschemafile>
Well, I don't know that much about xml, but the gconfschemafile xmlns has a valid url, so I went to it. The site said, among other things:

Code:
S60.com is now closed. The S60 team would like to thank everyone who contributed to the S60 community and took part in discussions on S60 blogs over the years. It was a great experience for us all.
The hildon-desktop-background-settings.schema is part of the hildon-desktop-background-settings-002 package. Did I miss an update on this? I figure that if this were a real problem, more people would be up in arms.

So, I did an

Code:
apt-get install --reinstall hildon-desktop-applet-settings-002 hildon-desktop-background-settings-002
No change appears to have occurred. Behavior is still consistent with before, I still can't change backgrounds, even after a reboot.

Any ideas? Am I barking up the wrong tree?
