[Bug 860670] Re: gconftool fails to change the desktop background
thank you for your bug report but GNOME3 in Oneiric uses gsettings and
not gconf, you are editing a deprecated key in the wrong database, you
should use gsettings or dconf-editor
** Changed in: gconf (Ubuntu)

Title:
gconftool fails to change the desktop background
Status in “gconf” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
In the 11.10 beta, which I'm keeping current as updates come through.
gconftool is not sending updates of the gnome background picture file
to gnome.
gconftool -g /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename - correctly
reports the name of the current background image if it has been
changed using the right-click menu on the desktop. If a different
file has been selected using the command below then that file name is
reported even though the desktop picture hasn't changed.
gconftool -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename
$outputFile - sets the name of the new graphic, which can then be
interrogated by gconftool, but the picture on the desktop doesn't
change.
