There is a print statement (2nd line from the bottom) that spits out the correct terminal command because I can C&amp;P the print result and it works fine, it just doesn't work when it's executed in the script.</p> <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/env python import urllib2 import os from gi.repository import Gio response = urllib2.urlopen("http://wallbase.cc/random/12/eqeq/1366x768/0.000/100/32") page_source = response.read() thlink_pos = page_source.find("ico-X") address_start = (page_source.find("href=\"", thlink_pos) + 6) address_end = page_source.find("\"", address_start + 1) response = urllib2.urlopen(page_source[address_start:address_end]) page_source = response.read() bigwall_pos = page_source.find("bigwall") address_start = (page_source.find("src=\"", bigwall_pos) + 5) address_end = page_source.find("\"", address_start + 1) address = page_source[address_start:address_end] slash_pos = address.rfind("/") + 1 pic_name = address[slash_pos:] bashCommand = "wget " + page_source[address_start:address_end] os.system(bashCommand) print "Does my new image exists?", os.path.exists(os.getcwd() + "/" + pic_name) #attempt 1 settings = Gio.Settings.new("org.gnome.desktop.background") settings.set_string("picture-uri", "file://" + os.getcwd() + "/" + pic_name) settings.apply() #attempt 2 bashCommand = "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file://" + os.getcwd() + "/" + pic_name print bashCommand os.system(bashCommand) settings.apply() </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
