Description changed to:
    I use applications that draw themselves on the X root window, so i
    disable the "draw_background" key for gnome with gconf-editor.
    However, gnome *still continues to draw the background* and hides
    the window of the application drawing to the root of the screen.
    When disabling the draw_background, gnome must not draw anything
    (image or bgcolor) on the root window. I believe this worked
    correctly with standard gnome from gnome.org when i used it (at
    least for a previous version) so i think it is an ubuntu bug.

    version: gnome 2.12.1 ubuntu breezy + official dapper backports
