302311 - constant filename used for all users wallpaper on win/xp

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 260437

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Tony Luck]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

On a windows/xp machine, if I right click a picture and choose "Set as
wallpaper" firefox will change the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control
Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper to have the value C:\Windows\Firefox Wallpaper.bmp and
overwrite this file with the selected image.

If there are multiple users on this windows/xp machine ... they will find that
each such wallpaper setting changes the wallpaper for all of them (since each
will have a registry key that points to the same file).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On a win/xp machine with multiple user accounts
2. Log in as user1, use firefox to set wallpaper, logout
3. Log in as user2, use firefox to set wallpaper to a different image, logout


Actual Results:  
Log in as user1 again.  See that the original image is lost, the wallpaper will
be the image that was selected by user2

Expected Results:  
Each user should be able to have their own preferred wallpaper.

Firefox should either have just used the original filename from the registry key
(C:\Documents and Settings\{USER}\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Wallpaper1.bmp) ... or if it really wants to change this, it
should generate a name that is unique for each user.

Fixed by bug 260437?

yes. the name still isn't unique ("Desktop Background.bmp"), but it's user per
user now.
