Binary package hint: nautilus

After upgrading to Natty my background did not draw. Windows and dialogs
left trails where the background should be drawn. I saw this in both
Unity and Gnome Desktop. I changed from a solid color background to a
gradient and an image and both of those worked fine. I put it back to
solid color and had the problem again.

I experimented more and found out that it only happened with the
combination of two settings:

Solid Color background chosen in Appearance control panel AND
gconf: apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop set to false.

I prefer to hide by desktop icons, and I achieve this by using the gconf
setting above. I am reporting this to Nautilus because the show_desktop
setting is in nautilus.

This worked fine in Maverick before upgrading to Natty.

I have an NVIDIA video card using the proprietary driver.
