similar to: changing background image

I centos 5 I can run this command: su myuser -c "/usr/bin/gconftool-2 -t string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /usr/share/backgrounds/images/mypic.png" and this works fine. under centos 6 it does not appear to be working... I can run the similiar --get command and it tells me its set to what I asked for. However the screen is not showing mypic.png I can use

Some how I have changed something such that the command line: gconftool-2 -t string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /usr/share/backgrounds/images/other.jpg does not change my background any longer. Has someone come across this before? How can I change gnome back to ALL default settings? Jerry

Hi all, I have a need to rebuild the gstreamer and gst-plugins in CentOS 7. So I found the wiki for rebuilding a source package... I downloaded the vault.centos.org files, installed them with dependencies. I did the rpmbuild -ba for each of the four packages. All seemed to go well. No errors reported. However - the /usr/bin/gst-inspect* listing shows the files as OLD ls -l /usr/bin/gst-inspect*
