How reproducible:
Static problem.

Comment 1 Ben McMonagle 2017-07-11 22:50:39 CEST

The background / wallpaper is unable to be changed in either i586 or x86_64 all DE install.
The Mageia 6 wallpaper is in the "Change desktop background" options, as is "default", but they are un-selectable.
Using the mouse tool "Set as wallpaper" when hovered over an image is also not possible.



will attach report.bug.xz from either install, later.

Comment 5 Rémi Verschelde 2017-07-25 23:39:48 CEST

Thanks Martin!

Added the patch to Mageia 6's version (Cauldron has 3.4.1 which already contains that fix) in cinnamon-session-3.2.0-1.1.mga6.

Advisory:
=========

Updated cinnamon-session package fixes GTK+ 3.24 theme settings support

  Cinnamon 3.2.0 does not honor the theme settings of GTK+ 3.24 properly, which
  can manifest itself e.g. by a black background when run from some desktop
  managers (mga#21216). An upstream patch is backported to fix it.

@Samuel
Not sure what you mean. I am not a Troll. Please state your objections.
I took out IN_ERRATA6 because I thought you would want that. If you want it  back, please put it back. As for the Validated keyword, that was intended. We cannot currently afford the luxury of wanting 32-bit tests as well for all updates. If you agree, please restore that too.

Lewis, it was against someone else, cf history ;)

Thanks for clarifying. I was not talking about you, Lewis, obviously :)

That troll had added validated_update to another bug report and I wrongly thought he had added it here too but it was you, so Manuel was right to restore it.
