desktop backgrounds broken in Whonix KVM:
Most likely a KVM specific bug.
desktop background files in the git repository:
- Kicksecure: https://github.com/Whonix/whonix-xfce-desktop-config/blob/master/etc/skel/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-desktop.xml (that package will be renamed at some point)
- Whonix-Workstation: anon-ws-base-files/etc/skel/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-desktop.xml.anondist at master · Whonix/anon-ws-base-files · GitHub
- Whonix-Gateway: anon-gw-base-files/etc/skel/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-desktop.xml.anondist at master · Whonix/anon-gw-base-files · GitHub
These files will end up in user’s home folder at first boot:
/home/user/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-desktop.xml
File will be modified by Xfce.
Note:
Files in /etc/skel
Possible the following setting…
<property name="screen0" type="empty">
Works in VirtualBox but not in KVM.
Testing modified files in /etc/skel is cumbersome. I wrote a script which is supposed to be run from a virtual console to simplify the steps:
/usr/libexec/helper-scripts/desktop-background-skel-test
