From 5024843e95b91a664128ccc082a980a1a25f5d5d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Uli Schlachter Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 18:54:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] root.wallpaper: Use main connection for pixmap filling (FS#1087) Previously, cairo would often have to download the old wallpaper from the X11 server and then upload it again. It did this because it couldn't see that the two X11 connections involved are actually connected to the same X11 server. This commit fixes this by setting up the pixmap from our main X11 connection. This is the same connection that we use for accessing the "old" wallpaper and thus cairo doesn't have to do stupid things. The big improvement with this is that this speeds up wallpaper setup a lot.
