Bug Description

when trying to change the gnome background through firefox,
gnome doesn't update the background when the previous background was also chosen
with firefox.

reproduce :
1. go to art.ubuntu.com in firefox
2. choose a background, open the image on firefox and in the right click menu on
the image choose : "Set as desktop background..."
3. go to the desktop and see if the background is changed.
4. go back to firefox and do 2 and 3 again.

expected behaviour : background is changed again.
actual behaviour : in the second time the background not changed. if you go
manually the the gnome background wizard and change the background and back
again, it is change to the new background

I have confirmed this on 5.10, but have also found it to be fixed on dapper. Marking as Fix Released. The fix is unlikely to be backported to 5.10. Please re-open if you still see this in dapper.

No. It is not fixed in Dapper. I tested it today again in Dapper (Firefox 1.5.0.3 and upto date Dapper) and this problem still exists.

Thanks,
Nir.
