I am running Debian Buster with th e Xfce4 Desktop.
This morning after a reboot the User Background color was no longer the

app was opened
I don't have the faintest idea what happened or how to fix it. I really
don't whant to have to reinstall Debian.
Given your second message, it is clear that this is a
configuration issue that is under the control of your normal
user, not an OS-wide problem. You will not need to reinstall.

Thank you for the encouraging reply, but how do I fix the problem?
Settings Manager - Desktop - Wallpaper for my desktop appears to be
completely grayed out and is unresponsive.
Your assistance is much appreciated.
This
opening an app and then closing it left the background gray where the
app was opened
sounds more like a video driver issue, but you can try setting the
background color again.
Right click on an empty space on the desktop & left click on Desktop Settings
Left click on the Background tab (Wallpaper for my desktop is also
grayed out on my machine), but below that panel there's a Color:
selection, pick Solid Color, click on the color sample and select
black.
Put a checkmark next to "Apply to all workspaces", make sure there's
no checkmark for "Change the background" and click on Close

Thank your for your reply. I find that right click on the desktop no
longer brings up the Desktop Settings. This still works in the root
desktop. Your recommendation for desktop settings is what I routinely use.
