Desktop wallpaper no longer displayed after failed Desktop sharing session session

[HappySpaceInvader]

I had been sharing my desktop with a colleague, with the feature to disable the background wallpaper while connected. We had some problems with the connection and my Desktop Sharing program became unresponsive so I killed its running process (with SIGTERM).

No, regardless of whether I have desktop sharing enabled, my desktop wallpaper is not displayed. I have tried rebooting my machine, (making sure that desktop sharing isn't started in my default session) but although the wallpaper is briefly display, as soon as my panels are being drawn, the wallpaper disappears and all I can see is the solid background colour. Changing desktop wallpapers does not fix the problem - the solid colour sometimes changes (depending on the wallpaper's settings), but the actual picture is not displayed.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

(Using Ubuntu 8.10).

I have the same porb but what I did was check the box that said "Disable the Wallpaper when connected" in the Remote Desktop Preferences. Reboot doesent fix this.

I experienced this same bug. To fix it, open the gconf-editor, then go to desktop - gnome - background and put a checkmark on draw_background.

Thanks guys, this worked for me, too. Hope this won't happen again on the next NX session. Otherwise, any of you have found NX client settings that work?
