feh won't work in xubuntu?
I'm running xubuntu and recently switched from compiz to i3. Now I can't set a desktop wallpaper. I tried feh, and it almost works--I have a slightly transparent terminal, and I can see the new wallpaper through that, but I can't see it anywhere else. Any suggestions at all would be much appreciated!!
Do you see the wallpaper on a blank workspace, with no open windows? If so, I expect everything's working properly. i3 is not a compositing window manager, doesn't do transparency; your terminal app has transparency support built into it. Many people use the 'compton' compositor along with i3.
