5.87. gnome-desktop
Updated gnome-desktop packages that fix a bug are now available.
The gnome-desktop package contains an internal library (libgnome-desktop) used to implement some portions of the GNOME desktop, and also some data files and other shared components of the GNOME user environment.
Bug Fix
- BZ#829891
- Previously, when a user hit the system's hot-key (most commonly Fn+F7) to change display configurations, the system could potentially switch to an invalid mode, which would fail to display. With this update, gnome-desktop now selects valid XRandR modes and correctly switching displays with the hot-key works as expected.
All users of gnome-desktop are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Bug Fix
- BZ#639732
- Previously, due to an object not being destroyed, the Nautilus file manager could consume an excessive amount of memory. Consequently, constantly growing resident memory would slow down the system. The source code has been modified to prevent memory leaks from occurring and Nautilus now consumes a reasonable amount of memory.
All users of gnome-desktop are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
