org.gnome.desktop.background has no 'draw-background' key anymore

[manuelbua]

It looks like the schema coming with Gnome 3.10 doesn't support the 'draw-background' key anymore, so the gnome backend (setbg) will not work.

Thanks, this is already fixed in 721621b, we just haven't done a release yet as some other things are stalled at the moment due to a lack of free time.

Yes, i read that in previous issues messages, but that commit still uses the "draw-background" key that may exists in the key store but not anymore in the schema.
For instance, i checked out nitrogen's HEAD and compiled on my own, forcing use of gnome via --force-setter=gnome will segfault when applying the changes with:

(nitrogen:8953): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_list_store_get_value: assertion 'VALID_ITER (iter, list_store)' failed

You're right, that's what I get for reading too fast! Thanks, I'll take a look to see what they changed it to (hopefully they didn't just remove it).

[manuelbua]

No problem :)
It looks like it wasn't used and they decided to just throw it away, so i would just assume it's always true, what do you think?

I think this is fixed somewhere around 5de5020, can re-open if not true

Looks like several people still having this issue (see #43, #91)

Added a better guarding mechanism for those who don't have this key. Mine still has it, marked as deprecated. 🤷‍♂️

I'm still getting this error Settings schema 'org.gnome.desktop.background' does not contain a key named 'draw-background' when trying to set the wallpaper. Running Manjaro.

Still getting this error on Arch 5.15.5

Sorry to say I have experienced this on Debian XFCE for the better part of the last year or so.
